Bakers In India Attempt Record For World's Longest Cake
DAVID GREENE, HOST:Good morning. I'm David Greene. You might have made a New Year's resolution to avoid sweets after the holidays. And maybe you're regretting it now because bakers in the Indian city of Thrissur made the world's longest cake. A video shows it winding along festival grounds as rickshaws passed by. The previous record holder was a fruitcake in China nearly 2 miles long. Guinness World Records says this one in India was more than 3 miles. Even better, it had chocolate frosting. Yes.

放眼望去，田野山丘绵延不绝。
In a record-baking effort about 1,500 bakers and chefs in southern India have baked what they said was the world's longest cake: about 6.5km.
They spread chocolate ganache on the serpentine dessert which was stretched out on thousands of tables and desks at a festival ground and adjoining roads in Keralan city of Thrissur.
ganache
ganache /ɡəˈnæʃ/ 表示“奶油巧克力甜浆”，英文解释为“a smooth mixture of chocolate and cream, used in cakes, truffles, and chocolates”。
serpentine

adjoin
表示“紧邻”，英文解释为“If one room, place, or object adjoins another, they are next to each other.”
The vanilla cake, 10cm wide and thick, weighed about 27,000kg.
The bakers and chefs, wearing traditional whites and toque blanche caps, spent nearly four hours on Wednesday putting the cake together using 12,000kg of sugar and flour.
toque blanche caps
toque blanche caps指的就是厨师帽。
toque /təʊk/
blanche/'bla:ntʃ/
The term toque has been around for a few thousand years — it ultimately comes from a word that simply means “hat” in Arabic. In the 1800s the French began using the phrase toque blanche to refer to the white hat worn by chefs as part of their uniform. The color white was perceived as the most hygienic of colors, which helped to portray a sense of cleanliness in the kitchen.
Large crowds watched the event which was organised by Bakers Association Kerala. The group's secretary general, Naushad, who uses one name, said Guinness World Records had assessed the cake as being 6,500m but its confirmation of the exact length was pending.
pending
表示“待定；待决”，英文解释为“waiting to be decided or settled”举个🌰：
Two cases are still pending.
尚有两宗案件待决。
That much cake would surpass the Guinness record held by Chinese bakers in Zixi county who made a 3.2km fruitcake in 2018.
“This is an effort to showcase our skills to the world,” Naushad said. “We ensured hygiene and taste are up to the mark.”
up to the mark
表示“达到标准，足够好”，英文解释为“to be good enough”举个🌰：
His latest batch of work just isn't up to the mark.
他最近的一批活儿不合格。
