 Longest Ice Cream Dessert: St. Anne's School in Bethlehem sets world record (Video)

BETHLEHEM, Pa., USA -- At St. Anne's School in Bethlehem they fed more than 400 with 45 gallons of ice cream from a 150-foot (45.72 meters) long marvel of pound cake, ice cream, whipped cream, hot fudge, sprinkles and cherries - setting the new world record for the Longest Ice Cream Dessert .

  The previous Guinness world record for the longest ice cream dessert was a sundae measuring 39.77 m (130 ft 6 in) prepared by The Kids Club (USA) in Brunswick, Georgia, USA.

Guinness World Records also recognized the tallest ice cream whip: 14 cm (5.51 in), achieved by Paul O'Grady (UK).

  Christopher Lynn, a deputy sealer for the Northampton County department of weights and measures, gave the 150-foot sundae his approval.

   "I've measured for everything else," Lynn said, of his time spent at gas stations, grocery stores and countless other county-approved stuff. "But this is my first gutter measurement."

  Pennsylvania state Sen. Lisa Boscola , alongside about 50 volunteers and students, chiseled away an enormous block of ice cream with a giant steel spoon to fill a long section of vinyl gutter.

   "It was a great idea," St. Anne's Church pastor Anthony Mongiello said, "and a real spirit builder for the school.
