Mexico Chefs Create World's Biggest Cheesecake

Mexico has long been known for tacos and tequila � but they now have a new contender -- cheesecake.

Chef Miguel Angel Quezada and his 55 cooks spent more than 60 hours making the world's biggest cheesecake � a 2-ton calorie bomb topped with strawberries.

The monster cake used nearly a ton of cream cheese, the same amount of yogurt, 350 kilograms (772 pounds) of pastry, 250 kilograms (551 pounds) of sugar and 150 kilograms (331 pounds) of butter. Carlos Martinez of Guinness World Records declared the cheesecake the world's largest on Sunday at an event sponsored by Kraft.

And what do did they do with the record-setting cheesecake? Handed out more than 20,000 slices around Mexico City.
