In a spectacular celebration of its 40th anniversary, Stratford University has officially set a Guinness World Record for the Tallest Cake Pyramid, reaching a towering 2.79 meters (9 ft 2 in).
With campuses across Virginia, Maryland, and internationally in New Delhi, India, Stratford undertook the record attempt not just as a feat of culinary engineering, but as a fundraiser for a local charity supporting military and veterans’ families. The event paid tribute to the university’s late founder, a U.S. Navy veteran, weaving together themes of service, education, and community support.
Students, faculty, and volunteers collaborated in the record-breaking effort, meticulously stacking hundreds of cakes to create the edible pyramid, which quickly became the centerpiece of the university’s anniversary festivities.
The achievement symbolizes Stratford’s continued commitment to innovation, community impact, and honoring its roots in military service. The proceeds from the fundraiser will aid programs for veterans and their families, making this record-breaking celebration a truly meaningful milestone.
