Duff Goldman Unveils World’s Largest Cheesecake

Duff Goldman Unveils World’s Largest Cheesecake, 1. There is an annual cream cheese festival in Lowville, NY that serves a 1,200-pound cheesecake. (That is heavier than your average cow.)

2. This was apparently not nearly big enough to break the record for world’s biggest cheesecake, which was 4,703 pounds. (Still counting? That’s about four cows.)

But don’t worry, because on Saturday Ace of Cakes star Duff Goldman trekked up to Lowville to unveil a 6,900-pound cake crafted by the folks at Philadelphia cream cheese, shattering both the Guinness record and any local resident’s chance at a decent cholesterol test anytime soon.

We will give props to Goldman and the festival because the whole thing was a fundraiser for Share Our Strength, an organization working to end childhood hunger. Festivalgoers gave donations in exchange for a slice of the cake, and all were encouraged to plan their own community bake sales for Share our Strength.

Because you will probably never slice into a 31-inch-deep cheesecake (unless you start planning your 2014 trip to upstate New York), Goldman shared a consolation prize with PEOPLE: a recipe for a regular-sized “Good Ass Old-School Classic” cheesecake.
