Ice cream Sundae Gets a Mega Effect from Webster Students and Staff


Webster University has delivered a  wonder this time. And this time it  has got to do with  everyone’s   favourite. The previous record stood to 152.2 ft.   Webster  blew that sad little junior sundae out of the water with its 200.3 foot ice cream sundae, which was  built on the university's quad.
This epic and delicious event was the kick-off to Webster's annual Spring Fest.  Lauren Douglass, the programme   manager was urged to take the full scoop out  to display the mammoth record breaking  ice cream  sundae story to the crowd. Webster University students and staff prepared an 200.3 foot ice cream sundae - setting the new world record for the Longest Ice Cream Dessert. The record-breaking sundae included 456 pounds of vanilla ice cream, eight pounds of cherries and fourteen pounds of rainbow sprinkles. With more than 80 volunteers scooping and sprinkling away, the record was broken in less than 30 minutes.  Minnick's Surveying provided the official measurement of 200.3 feet and served as official witnesses alongside Hannah Ingram of the Opera Theatre of St. Louis.
The entire bunch of   onlookers  were controlling their temptation   only to   pounced upon after the official measurements. The   whole bunch of ice cream lovers   swarmed upon the delicious looking sundae  with spoons and bowls in hand.
The campus activities group at Webster has made giant sundaes in the past, so they weren't strangers to the world of over-sized desserts, but this was definitely the largest attempted in the college's history. Set-up for the sugarcoated event began at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 12, and construction of the colossal sundae began at noon. With more than 80 volunteers scooping and sprinkling away, the record was broken in less than 30 minutes. Minnick's Surveying provided the official measurement of 200.3 feet and served as official witnesses alongside Hannah Ingram of the Opera Theatre of St. Louis.
The largest ice cream sundae measured 200.3 ft and was set by the students and staff of Webster University at St Louis, Missouri, United States of America on April 17,2012.
