The biggest cake in the world

In 2011 Steve Jones overcame a big challenge. He made the biggest cake in the world.

Steve was born in Los Angeles in 1966. When he was a child he really liked cooking and he had always helped his parents to cook. Later, when he was 15 he started in pastry making and some years after he became one of the best pastry chefs in the world.

So when he was 45 years old, a millionaire couple ordered a cake for their wedding and they wanted the biggest cake in the world. The cake had 10 layers and each one was 20 cm high, so in total it was 2 meters high. The first layer was 15.61 meters of diameter. Steve spent two weeks preparing it and the final cake costed 375 dollars. The inside of the cake was all cream and on the outside it was all covered with blue and rose fondant with white leaves above. It was very beautiful. Some days later, this story was published in an international record book. There are some other pastry chefs that have tried to overcome this big record but they haven’t been able to do it.

Today, Steve Jones is already retired. This cake was very, very important for him because it was the last project in which he worked. In his last interview he said that he was very sad to leave this job but he also said that he’d left it on the top and he was proud about it. Moreover, he was happy because he said that now he wanted to travel around the world and meet new experiences.

We haven't found the real cake but this one is the one that looks more like it.
