• The largest galette des rois in the world should be assembled on Sunday at the Meinau stadium in Strasbourg, before the League match between Racing and Toulouse.

  • “It should measure between 50 and 54 meters,” announces Thierry Muths, head of the bakery-pastry department at the Apprentice Training Center (CFA) in Eschau, in Bas-Rhin.

  • Nearly 3,000 shares will be offered to spectators of the match.

Who said that the time of the galette des rois was over?

On Sunday, nearly 3,000 spectators of the match between Strasbourg and Toulouse at the Meinau stadium should pick up a small part of it.

Free… and not just any cake!

If all goes well, these privileged people will taste the biggest cake in the world.

“It should measure between 50 and 54 meters,” announces Thierry Muths, head of the bakery-pastry department at the Apprentice Training Center (CFA) in Eschau, in Bas-Rhin.

With three of his colleagues, he embarked on this project at the beginning of December, set up hand in hand with RC Strasbourg.

Why so early ?

"Because in January, we had our learners in progress, it would have been impossible to do everything at the same time", answers the person concerned, at work "three days in a row for seven hours" in order to prepare the famous cake.



That is to say to make "90 pancake plates of 40 centimeters by 60".

With impressive quantities of ingredients: 30 kg of almonds, as much sugar and butter, 15 kg of flour or even 360 eggs!

“All the pieces are closed on both sides, we had to with the frangipane.

And all are frozen and placed on aluminum plates, ”continues the bakery specialist.

There now remain several stages: cooking, scheduled for Saturday morning “in two batches” at the CFA, transport to the stadium, and of course assembly.

The latter will be carried out by ten students and 6 trainers in the "family zone" of La Meinau, where a bailiff is expected to measure the masterpiece.

"It will be 90 cakes next to each other and it will not count for the ''Guinness Book'' of records", specifies Thierry Muths, insisting on "highlighting learning".

But by the way, how many beans will there be?

“About 450, because we put 4 to 5 per piece.

All are in the effigy of Racing.

Two of them will even allow you to "receive a gift with the club's logo", specifies the RCSA in a press release.

What to make happy among the greedy.
