Paris Baguette Silky Roll Cake, Guinness World Record for Most Sold... 9300 Times the Eiffel Tower

Certified World Record for Selling Over 12 Million Units in 5 Years, Equivalent to 9300 Times the Height of the Eiffel Tower in Length Conversion

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] SPC Group, which operates Paris Baguette, announced on the 25th that its steady seller product, ‘Silky Roll Cake,’ has been officially certified by Guinness World Records as the ‘world’s best-selling roll cake.’

This Guinness certification was conducted by selecting the product with the highest sales within a certain period, and ‘Silky Roll Cake’ sold approximately 12 million (12,498,487) units over five years (January 2015 to December 2019) in five countries including Korea, China, the United States, Singapore, and Vietnam, earning the record as the ‘world’s best-selling roll cake.’

When converted to length, the sold products measure about 3,000 km, which is 9,300 times the height of the Eiffel Tower in France (300 m) and 339 times the height of Mount Everest (8,848 m).

‘Silky Roll Cake,’ launched on May 11, 1988, has been loved steadily for about 32 years. It is characterized by a soft texture created by adding fresh eggs and butter to specially blended flour in the most suitable ratio. ‘Silky Roll Cake’ holds the undisputed number one position in the Paris Baguette gift category products.

Meanwhile, the Guinness World Record certification ceremony for ‘Silky Roll Cake’ was broadcast live via YouTube on the afternoon of the 24th from the SPC Group headquarters in Yangjae-dong, Seoul, and Guinness World Records in London, UK, due to COVID-19. Guinness World Records congratulated the announcement of the ‘Silky Roll Cake’ world Guinness certification through YouTube. Additionally, to symbolize the year 1988 when Silky Roll Cake was first launched, a specially made large ‘Silky Roll Cake’ measuring 1988 mm in length was presented to celebrate the record certification.

A Paris Baguette official said, “The reason we were able to set a world Guinness record was due to 34 years of accumulated baking know-how, the efforts of our employees, and a firm brand philosophy,” adding, “We will continue to write a new history in the baking field with innovative products and the best service.”
