One has witnessed numerous deviations from what is normal in the quest to seize the Guinness World Record. A lot of people prepare beautiful cakes to ring in the New Year but these Greek bakers know no bounds when it boils down to the size of the cake. Take a look at this viral video that aims to get a peek at the enormous dessert.

Size? A whopping 4,900 kgs. This is a New Year cake by Greek bakers who are very eager to fix their spot in Guinness World Record. Baking a cake takes about...well usually one person but this beauty was baked by a team of over 200 bakers in Greece as part of&nbsp;a New Year's eve celebration. This was certainly an unexpected stunt to pull off as baking with this just got to a whole new level.&nbsp;

When in Greece, do as the Greeks do

Greek bakers made sure they kept the humongous cake traditional. The group of bakers worked together to make a gigantic vasilopita that was over 11,000 pounds in weight (4989 kg). Popular in Greece and many other nations in eastern Europe and the Balkans, vasilopita is a traditional New Year's Day bread, cake, or pie. Now you must be wondering what ingredients are used in this big monster-size cake. Hold your breath as it contains a lot of calories, Vitamin C and protein. Before revealing the ingredients of this cake, you must know it is not for vegans as it has eggs. Well, the cake was made from 8,800 pounds flour, 4,400 pounds butter, 2,000 eggs, 1,500 oranges, 2,200 pounds sugar, 110 pounds cognac and 4 boxes of vanilla.

Dozens of bakeries come together&nbsp;

According to a report, the enormous cake was created with the assistance of many bakeries in the Athens region, the Bakers Guild of Athens, and suburbs &amp; surroundings. The finished item was put together on a street in Peristeri, an Athens suburb.

Guinness World Records dream&nbsp;

VIRAL VIDEO | This giant cake by Greek bakers hopes to clinch Guinness World Record

One of Bob Dylan’s most important early albums, “Bringing It All Back Home” from 1965, has the kind of cover that can strain eyes and fuel speculation. It is a photograph of Dylan, in a black jacket, sitting in a room full of bric-a-brac that may or may not mean something, staring into the camera as a woman in a red outfit lounges in the background.

“Fans became so fixated on deciphering it,” the music journalist Neil McCormick wrote in The Daily Telegraph of London last year, “that a rumor took hold that the woman was Dylan in drag, representing the feminine side of his psyche.”

She wasn’t. She was Sally Grossman, the wife of Dylan’s manager at the time, Albert Grossman.

“The photo was shot in Albert Grossman’s house,” the man who took it, Daniel Kramer, told The Guardian in 2016. “The room was the original kitchen of this house that’s a couple hundred years old.”

“Bob contributed to the picture the magazines he was reading and albums he was listening to,” Kramer added, a reference to the bric-a-brac. “Bob wanted Sally to be in the photo because, well, look at her! She chose the red outfit.”

Grossman died Thursday at her home in the Bearsville section of Woodstock, New York, not far from the house where the photograph was taken. She had long been a fixture in Woodstock, operating a recording studio, a theater and other businesses there after her husband died of a heart attack at 59 in 1986. She was 81.

Her niece, Anna Buehler, confirmed her death and said the cause had not been determined.

Sally Ann Buehler was born on Aug. 22, 1939, in Manhattan to Coleman and Ann (Kauth) Buehler. Her mother was executive director of the Boys Club (now the Variety Boys and Girls Club) of Queens; her father was an actuary.

Grossman studied at Adelphi University on Long Island and Hunter College in Manhattan, but she was more drawn to the arts scene percolating in Greenwich Village.

“I figured that what was happening on the street was a lot more interesting than studying 17th-century English literature,” she told Musician magazine in 1987, “so I dropped out of Hunter and began working as a waitress. I worked at the Cafe Wha?, and then the Bitter End, all over.”

Along the way she met Grossman, who was making his name managing folk music acts that played at those types of venues, including Peter, Paul and Mary, whom he helped bring together.

“The office was constantly packed with people,” Sally Grossman recalled in the 1987 interview. “Peter, Paul and Mary, of course, but also Ian and Sylvia, Richie Havens, Gordon Lightfoot, other musicians, artists, poets.”

The couple, who married in 1964, settled in Woodstock, where Albert Grossman had acquired properties and which Dylan had also discovered about the same time, settling there with his family as well.

In due course came the photo shoot for the album cover.

“I made 10 exposures,” Kramer told The Minneapolis Star Tribune in 2014. One image, with Dylan holding a cat, was a keeper. “That was the only time all three subjects were looking at the lens,” Kramer said.

The photo, staged by Kramer with Dylan’s input, was an early example of what became a mini-trend of loading covers up with imagery that seemed to invite scrutiny for insights into the music. The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” (1967) might be the best-known example.

The album itself was a breakthrough for Dylan, marking his transition from acoustic to electric. Its tracks included “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Subterranean Homesick Blues” and “Maggie’s Farm.”

Sally Grossman and her husband established recording studios and restaurants in Bearsville, and after his death Grossman renovated a barn to create the Bearsville Theater, bringing to life a vision of her husband’s. It hosted numerous concerts over the years. She sold the businesses in the mid-2000s.

Sally Grossman is survived by a brother, Barry Buehler.

Though she knew many American musicians, Grossman had a special place in her heart for an order of religious singers from Bengal known as the Bauls, whom she encountered in the 1960s. She created a digital archive of Baul music. Deborah Baker, author of “A Blue Hand: The Beats in India” (2008), wrote about Grossman and her connection to the Bauls in a 2011 essay in the magazine the Caravan.

“Despite all the famous musicians and bands who once passed through her life,” Baker wrote, “she found it was the Bauls she missed the most from those years.”

The designer baking the cake for Friday`s royal wedding of Britain`s Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank says she was honoured to have been selected for the couple`s big day. 
 
"I have got butterflies but at the same time just overjoyed and just so excited," Sophie Cabot said as she cracked dozens of eggs as she prepared to bake the red and velvet chocolate cake. 
 
"So when I start getting going with the baking ... the nerves they go because I just get so engrossed with what I`m doing and I just love it so much ... I feel very, very honoured that they have selected me to do it," said baker Sophie Cabot. 
 
Eugenie, 28, younger daughter of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, will marry Brooksbank, 32, at the queen`s Windsor Castle home, west of London. 
 
Her cousin Prince Harry and wife Meghan had their glittering wedding in May at the same location. 
 
Cabot, originally a costume designer who started her London-based cake design business in 2014, said her cake will be traditional with a modern feel, incorporating an autumnal theme and covered with detailed sugar work.
