Who doesn’t love the combination of bread and breaking a world record? Throw in Dia de los Muertos and you’ve got yourself a winning combination.
Dia de los Muertos is an annual event that honours friends and family members who have passed away. In honor of the holiday, otherwise known as the Mexican Day of the Dead, bakers in Mexico teamed up to create 20,689 loaves of bread. They assembled the loaves into the world’s largest bread mosaic, measuring in at 2,222 square feet.
A group of five bakers came together in Municipio de Zacatlan, Puebla, to work on breaking the record for the world’s largest bread mosaic. The image displayed in the mosaic was La Catrina, a traditional skeleton figure associated with Dia de los Muertos.
According to the Guinness World Records, the bakers spent two weeks working day and night baking all of the bread that was involved in the record. What better way to celebrate loved ones of the past than with some delicious bread?
