The Sonoran capital of Hermosillo went big Thursday night for the city’s annual Three Kings Day, or Día de Reyes, celebration.
A 600 meter, or nearly 2,000 foot, rosca de reyes cake stretched for multiple blocks before looping back around.
In Mexico, the circular dessert is decorated with candied fruit and its sweet bread hides a miniature baby Jesus.
Hermosillo families crowded at the barricades to get a glimpse and later, a taste.
“It looks very long, it’s impressive. I’m so happy because I love rosca, honestly,” said Elvira Uzueta, a university student in Hermosillo and came to see the rosca with her family and some friends.
The culinary students who baked this humongous version used nearly a ton of dough. They broke their own record for the city’s longest rosca de reyes, which reached 520 meters at last year’s event.
