To celebrate Dairy Queen Canada’s 30th anniversary, it set a new world record by making the world’s largest ice cream cake in Yonge and Dundas Square in Toronto. One hundred (100) people planned the event for over a year.

To create this giant ice cream, Dairy Queen has to employ:

• Dozens of chefs who worked non-stop
• 9,000 kg of ice cream
• 91 kg of sponge cake,
• 136 kg of icing and Oreo crumbles

After being acknowledged by the Guinness Book of Records, the record-breaking cake was cut into pieces and served to the crowd who were gathered in Yonge and Dundas Square. 100% of suggested donations were given to the Children Miracle Network to fund medical care, research and education programs of the Canadian kids.

This giant Canadian cake was able to beat the 2006 world record, a nearly 8,000 kg ice-cream cake which was made by China.
