Tlaxcala Sets Guinness World Record for Largest 'Party Bread'
Bakers in Tlaxcala, a tiny central Mexican state, broke a Guinness World Record for the world's largest pan de fiesta (party bread).
They assembled 2,581 pieces to form the state's name in a public plaza, uniting about 100 bakers from San Juan Huactzinco and San Juan Totolac.
The feat was achieved using thousands of walnut-flavored loaves, claiming the title in an event marking the 500th anniversary of the state capital, Tlaxcala de Xicohténcatl.
Pan de fiesta is a staple in regional festivals and patron saint celebrations in Tlaxcala, Puebla, and other areas of central Mexico, traditionally sweet and walnut-flavored, decorated with egg wash and sesame seeds.
The record was confirmed by a Guinness adjudicator.
