The World's Biggest Stollen at the Dresden Christmas Market

If you have a sweet tooth and love German cake, you are in for a real treat at the "Stollen Festival" in Dresden.

On Saturday, December 6th, the world's biggest Stollen, a traditional German Christmas cake, will be presented (and of course eaten) at the Christmas Market in Dresden; expect no less than a super-cake, weighing 4 tons, measuring 13 feet in length.

Before you try a bite of this culinary masterpiece, watch the traditional procession of hundreds of bakers and pastry chefs, who will carry the giant Stollen through the baroque Old Town of Dresden. At the Christmas market, the Stollen will be cut with a special 3 feet long silver-plated knife and then sold to hungry visitors.

And what is the Super-Stollen made of? - 1.5 tons of flour, 1.000 pounds of sugar, 1.700 pounds of butter, 11 gallons of rum, and 2.5 million raisins.
