IMAX Theater Celebrates 10 Years with Giant Cake

The cake was created by the Ivy Tech Culinary Arts School students, who decorated it to resemble IMAX filmstock, with images from some of the 73 films that IMAX has shown over the last 10 years.

Ivy Tech adjunct faculty member Linda Shonk guided the students in creating the enormous cake, which was officially measured for the Guiness Record Books by Colts officials using the football yard markers that will be used in today's game.

I spoke to Linda prior to the measurement, and she said that they are sure the cake qualifies for a national record, and Guiness will review their submission for a possible world record as the longest cake.

The IMAX theater is a part of White River State Park, and operated as a stand-alone theater it's first five years, until the Indiana State Museum was built to join it on the grounds of the park.

Since its opening in December of 1996, more than 1.8 million people have seen films at the theater, representing more than $11 million in box office sales. 73 feature films have run through the theater's projectors.
