The Guinness World Record for the longest tiramisù was broken in London on April 26, 2026. The two-day event at Chelsea Town Hall drew around 100 Italian chefs and produced a tiramisù length of 440.6 meters, surpassing the previous 273.5-meter record. This event was overseen by Guinness World Records officials to ensure compliance with the rules, including on-site assembly and required dimensions.[2][4]
