  Largest Tiramisu 
- world record set by The Italian Association in Porrentruy
   PORRENTRUY, Switzerland -- 155 bakers from the Italian community in the small Swiss town of Porrentruy spent 14 hours creating a tiramisu Measuring eight centimeters (three inches) high and 50 square meters in area and weighing 2,310 tonnes - which sets the new world record for the Largest Tiramisu .

   The World's Largest Tiramisu required 799kg of mascarpone, 6400 eggs, 350 litres of cream, 189kg of sugar, 300 litres of coffee, 35kg of cocoa, 66 litres of liqueur and 64 000 biscuits. 8cm deep, the dessert covered a full 50 square metres.

   The 2.3-ton dessert, which is eight centimetres high and 50 metres long, was created by the Italian Association in Porrentruy in the Jura.

   Live-painting artist Franck Bouroullec was brought in to give the World's Largest Tiramisu its final touch - a portrait of Barack Obama in chocolate powder - a celebration, he said, of the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, rather than the President of the United States.

The Guinness world record for the Largest Tiramisu was first taken by Porrentruy in 2007 with a mere 782kg giant, made in the shape of Italy, which was beaten by bakers in the French city of Lyon last October with a 1075kg specimen in the shape of France.

 The new Largest Tiramisu in The World is twice as large as the one made by the French team last year.
