Massive Rosca De Reyes Dessert Invades Mexico City!

By Michael Lopez

What is it about Mexico City and gigantic food dishes? Last October, they set a Guinness World Record for cooking up the world’s largest enchilada and now they’ve unleashed a rosca de reyes dessert that’s over 2,300 feet long!

For those unfamiliar with the Spanish pastry, rosca de reyes is a circular cake usually filled with fruits, figs, and dried candies. It is traditionally baked and eaten every January 6 to commemorate the arrival of the Three Wise Men. Obviously this makes total sense to us, since Latinos love spreading the holiday festivities as long as they can go!

Mexico, it seems, took the idea one step further by concocting a version that weighed over 10 tons! Believe it or not, this rosca de reyes platter took over 2,000 bakers to prepare and included nearly six tons of flour, three tons of sugar, and 38,600 eggs!

Which brings us to the ultimate question…How did it taste? By the looks of things, absolutely delicious! Not only does the picture display layers of sweet fruits and cream, but the amount of people who sampled the dish is astonishing. 3,000 citizens visited the Mexico City district on New Year’s Day and got their very own piece (which was accompanied by a yummy glass of milk).
