Largest King Cake




Haydel's Bakery, a locally owned bakery for three generations, baked two huge king cakes that wrapped around the entire Superdome.  An official from the Guinness Records was there to measure and present the bakery with the new record.  The previous record was held in Houston, but one of the owners of Haydel's Bakery said the record should be held in New Orleans, where king cakes are known.  It took them days to bake.  They arrived at midnight the night before to start setting it up.  Anyone could purchase a ticket for a piece of the king cake, and all proceeds went to the Susan G Komen Foundation.
