"This year we have made the Buckingham Palace which is measuring 58 feet in width, 16 feet in height and 15 kilograms in weight. We have used about 8 tonnes of sugar and totally 20,000 man hours have been put in to make this model," said C. Ramachandran, Director, Nilgiri's Dairy Farm, Bangalore.

Nilgiri's Cake Exhibition, which commenced on Friday (Dec.19), is a major draw for aficionados of cakes and pastries. People are making beeline to watch, relish and buy out of a wide varieties of cakes available at the exhibition.

The first edition this famed cake show was held in 1969.

The cake exhibition has also been listed in the Limca Book of Records and would have found an entry the Guinness Almanac of World Records too but for the absence of specific category of cake exhibitions.
