Pelwatte Dairy has announced that it was the main sponsor of “Sri Lanka’s largest cake” event, a noteworthy and historic endeavour put together by Swarnawahini in association with Sri Lanka Institute of Tourism and Hotel Management (SLITHM).
This one-of-a-kind occasion, which took place on 31 December 2024, united local cooks and artists to produce a huge cake that has now earned a spot in the national record books.
Pelwatte Dairy, said as a company that takes pride in its high standards and commitment to the community, was instrumental in making this event a success. The cake was prepared using Pelwatte Butter, which is renowned for its exceptional taste and texture, demonstrating its adaptability in producing dishes of the highest calibre. The butter used in the cake was made from Pelwatte Dairy’s fresh, 100% locally sourced milk, making the event not only a celebration of creativity but also a testament to the value and quality of locally sourced ingredients.
The occasion promoted the value of assisting regional farmers while showcasing Sri Lanka’s diverse culinary customs. The event’s aim of showcasing Sri Lanka’s finest regional ingredients is ideally aligned with Pelwatte Dairy Industries Ltd.’s dedication to using fresh milk from Sri Lankan farmers. The Company said this initiative demonstrates its commitment to enhancing the dairy sector in Sri Lanka and offering consumers wholesome, high quality dairy products.
Managing Director Akmal Wickramanayake said: “At Pelwatte Dairy, we believe in the power of collaboration and community; by sponsoring “Sri Lanka’s largest cake”, we are proud to position Pelwatte butter as the preferred choice for both everyday cooking and creative baking. We aim to inspire Sri Lankans to choose quality butter that supports both local businesses and national pride.”
This remarkable creation, crafted with the expertise of 41 local chefs under the leadership of Chef Pamal Pinidiya, was unveiled in a grand ceremony graced by local dignitaries and artists. The cake weighs an impressive 850 kilograms and 455 grams, measures 12 metres and 81 centimetres in length, 8 centimetres in height, and 1 metre and 12 centimetres in width. After the celebration, the cake was shared with various institutions, including charitable organisations and dedicated members of Government defence sectors, spreading joy and gratitude across the community. The entire process was carefully monitored by officials from Serendib World Records, ensuring it met strict hygiene standards and was safe for everyone to enjoy.
