Largest cake sculpture record attempt

A world record attempt for the largest cake sculpture has been launched in London.


The massive cake was put together by forty five volunteers over six hours and is big enough to feed twelve thousand people!
It weighs two tonnes, which is nearly the same weight as an average African elephant.
But to break the record the entire cake must be eaten, with all the money raised going towards a children's charity. Yum!

Book dominoes world record set

A book group in Belgium is celebrating today 

after breaking a world record.

Watch this! Absolutely fantastic!



They spent a whole night setting up 4,845 books in a 600-metre domino chain before knocking them all down.
The books all had to fall in the right order for them to win the world record - and they did it!
The previous winners, from South Africa, held the title for a chain that had 2,850 books in it.
The Belgian group decided to have another go straight away using 5,500 books, but that one didn't work.
Never mind, they are still the world record holders. Check out the video.

You may have carved one, used one to make a lantern or even eaten one but here's one man with a really unusual use for a pumpkin.

Artist Dmitri Galitzine has set not one, but two bizarre records, in a boat made out of a massive hollowed out pumpkin.He set a record for paddling 100 metres in less than three minutes in Portsmouth harbour.Then he raised the bar a bit higher and modified the boat to make it motorised.He motored off in the 'souped up' pumpkin crossing the Solent to the Isle of Wight.
Watch his amazing adventure.
