In the Bäckby Hall, tense expectation prevailed when the significant weight of the extensive pastry was announced on Saturday afternoon.
The target was 700 kilos - when the scale stopped it stood at 724 kilos. Thus, the bakery is regarded as the world's largest baklava.
- I am very happy to do something good for Bäckby. Even though we will be able to donate money to the Music Aid, says Kejhan Darwishi, the baklava general.
