The Giant Nottingham Christmas Cake

Chefs have created a giant 18ft (5.5m) by 9ft (2.7ft) Christmas cake that even the hungriest festive eater would struggle to finish by themselves.

The massive yuletide treat was made by ten cooks from Nottingham and weighs an impressive 1,543lb (700kg), with claims it is the biggest ever created in the UK.

The iced fruit cake was on show outside Red World Buffet in Nottingham for a brief period before peckish passers-by tucked into it after being offered a slice.
