Cheer on students from the Northern Sydney Institute’s Ryde Campus and Le Cordon Bleu this Saturday at Top Ryde as they assemble a birthday cake they hope will set the record for Australia's widest birthday cake.
The record breaking attempt from the students is one of many activities in coordination with National Skills Week and Top Ryde City's third birthday.
Associate Director of Tourism, Hospitality, Environment and Horticulture, Elizabeth Smith, said the students will be busy preparing over 110 slabs of cake to form the structure.
“Assembling a cake of this scale has definitely been a first for the Institute and Le Cordon Bleu,” said Elizabeth.
“This is another great example of how Ryde Campus works with our industry partners and local community.
“It has required a huge amount of cooperation from all involved, considering the cake is roughly 6.3m x 4.8m wide and weighing over 700kg,” she said.
The assembly of the cake will take over five hours from 8.30am to 1.30pm outside Myer on the ground floor of Top Ryde and involve 30 very excited student volunteers and staff.
Good luck to all the students and teachers involved!
