Leaning Pancake Tower

The chefs proved that building towers may not necessarily be the sole dominating rights of builders and architects .The chefs also have   their own distinctive culinary way of doing and raising towers. Yes the   architect chefs are none other than Sean Mc Ginlay   and Natalie King of Glasgow’s Hilton Grosvenor Hotel.

Sean McGinley and Natalie King of Glasgow's Hilton Grosvenor hotel measured their pancake tower at 29.5 inches (75cm) - beating the current title by 0.4inches.  The stack of pancakes used up 100 eggs, more than ten liters of milk, five kilos of flour and three kilos of butter. It yielded 672 pancakes, the stack of which took 22 hours to build.  The hotel’s manager Stuart Nelson said that although the pancake tower was shaky till the end they somehow managed to pull it off. The leaning tower in Dubai or the Leaning tower of Giza would have come as buddies for this pancake tower which leaned as it got stacked up further in height. Nelson lauded the efforts of Mc Ginlay and his team   for putting up so much effort and perfecting the pancake recipes and their stacking techniques.

The current record of the pancake tower which stood at 75 cm marginally beat the previous record set in Slovenia  in August 2008  by a  centimeter . Another   previous world record for the (free-standing)  tallest pancake stack , consisting of 680 pancakes, measured 73 cm (28.7 in) and was made by Creperie COLAS (France) in Chateaugiron, France on 8 December 2007.

The Tallest Pancake stack measured 75 cm in height and counted to 672 pancakes was set by Sean Mc Ginlay and Natalie King at Glasgow, United Kingdom on February  23, 2009.
