KuchenMeister presented a special highlight at the International Sweets and Biscuits Fair (ISM) in Cologne and officially set a world record on Sunday. A specially developed giant croissant was measured by the Record Institute for Germany (RID) and confirmed as the new global benchmark.

With a weight of around 3.5 kilograms and a length of 85 centimetres, the pastry clearly surpasses the previous known record of 61 centimetres. An official RID record judge validated the dimensions live at the stand at the world's largest trade fair for confectionery and awarded the world record certificate.

There is much more behind the campaign than just a spectacular showpiece: the choice of pastry is deeply rooted in the company's DNA, as KuchenMeister set new market standards back in the 1990s with the introduction of filled croissants. The company is now celebrating this milestone with a bang as a symbol of the innovative strength of the entire portfolio. "This success is the result of a great team effort," says Matthias Weber, Head of Research and Development at KuchenMeister. "The fact that we can bake a croissant of this size demonstrates the craftsmanship of our team and proves our no-limit mindset, which enables us to face all challenges together." The technical precision of the giant croissant can be found in every series product and underlines the company's claim to be a first-class partner for brands such as Mars, Milky Way and Galaxy.

The production of the giant croissant required several weeks of product development. To ensure that the cookie remained stable despite its weight, the recipe and production process were slightly adapted compared to the normal production process. The proportion of protein-enriched flour was increased and the number of layers slightly reduced to 55. In addition, the baking temperature had to be reduced and the baking time significantly extended in order to guarantee optimum baking color and perfect flaking.

After official certification, the record-breaking croissant was distributed in its own "Croissant Corner" at the KuchenMeister stand and eaten by trade fair visitors.
