Biscuit world record flattened by bakery

A biscuit-baking world-record has crumbled — thanks to a team of bakers.

The team at award-winning Hassett’s bakery in Carrigaline, Co Cork, baked 4,695 ginger nut biscuits in one hour yesterday — smashing the previous record of 1,809 set in Canada in 2011.

Photographic and video evidence is now being prepared for submission to the Guinness Book of Records headquarters in London.
