IMAX Attempts "Nation's Longest Cake" for 10th Anniversary

I will most definitely be attending this event with camera in hand to take pictures.

The IMAX Theater in the Indiana State Museum will culminate its weeklong 10th anniversary celebration by serving free slices of an 11-yard-long cake to the community.

Designed by hospitality students at Ivy Tech Community College – Central Indiana, 10 yards of the cake will resemble IMAX film stock and each yard will symbolize one year that the theater has been operation. An eleventh yard will be decorated in honor of the Colts, and will include a little well-wishing from IMAX for a “super-big” game on Sunday and encouragement to go the extra yard. The cake will be baked and designed by the students using a patent-pending icing called Chocó pan, created by Ivy Tech adjunct faculty member, Linda Shonk. Some of the designs will be 3-D.

The cake’s 11-yard length will make it a record attempt for the nation’s longest cake. Former Colts linebacker and WIBC talk show host Joe Staysniak will officially measure the cake with football yard markers manned by members of The Indiana Officials Association, including one official who will be involved in Sunday’s game.

Former White River State Park directors and commission chairs will be on hand to help cut the cake.
