Preethi Kitchen Appliances breaks Guinness World
Record for the Tallest Cupcake Tower
Chennai 19, January Preethi Kitchen Appliances with Food
Consulate entered the Guinness Book of World Records for building a 41.8 feet
tower with 18,818 cupcakes and smashed the previous record held by a South
African organisation for 35 feet tower. The attempt was executed at the Forum
Vijaya Mall, Chennai. The event was beautifully coordinated between brands best
in their respective domains. Food Consulate brought to the table their expert
chefs with years of baking and pastry experience who curated the cupcake
recipe. Preethi Kitchen Appliances, on the other hand, brought their expertise
in the kitchen appliances industry with their best-seller Zodiac Mixer-Grinder
with a Master Chef Plus Jar for preparing the cupcake batter. The large atrium
at the Forum Vijaya Mall helped in the tower construction process effectively
and efficiently. And the end result was fabulous – cupcakes with the vanilla
frosting tasted even better than they looked. The tower of cupcakes was made
with 1,411kg of batter mixed with Zodiac mixer grinder. The entire process including
the construction of the tower took a total of 41 hours. Even after the intense
strenuous mixing, the Mixer-Grinders stood unperturbed, ready to begin a new
cycle of mixing. S.Subramanian, MD, Preethi Kitchen Appliances and M Mohamed
Ali, Director, Food Consulate were presented with the Guinness World Record
certificate. The cupcakes were later distributed to various NGOs across the
city.
It hasn’t been too long since Preethi Kitchen Appliances registered itself in the Asia Book of Records for the Longest Mixer-Grinder Grinding Marathon, continuously grinding 500kg of batter. The home grown brand has now taken it up a notch by successfully breaking the Guinness World Record for the “Tallest Cupcake Tower” in Chennai.
