Preethi Zodiac Mixer-Grinder Creates History Breaks Guinness World Record for the Tallest Tower of Cupcakes

Preethi Kitchen Appliances with Food Consulate entered the Guinness Book of World Records for building a 41.8 feet tower with 18,818 cupcakes and smashed the previous record held by a South African organisation for 35 feet tower. The attempt was executed at the Forum Vijaya Mall, Chennai. The event was beautifully coordinated between brands best in their respective domains. Food Consulate brought to the table their expert chefs with years of baking and pastry experience who curated the cupcake recipe. Preethi Kitchen Appliances, on the other hand, brought their expertise in the kitchen appliances industry with their best-seller Zodiac Mixer-Grinder with a Master Chef Plus Jar for preparing the cupcake batter. The large atrium at the Forum Vijaya Mall helped in the tower construction process effectively and efficiently. And the end result was fabulous – cupcakes with the vanilla frosting tasted even better than they looked. The tower of cupcakes was made with 1,411 kg of batter mixed with Zodiac mixer grinder. The entire process including the construction of the tower took a total of 42 hours 45 minutes. Even after the intense strenuous mixing, the Mixer-Grinders stood unperturbed, ready to begin a new cycle of mixing. S. Subramanian, MD, Preethi Kitchen Appliances and M Mohamed Ali, Director, Food Consulate was presented with the Guinness World Record certificate. The cupcakes were later distributed to various NGOs across the city.
