My bakery sells Britain’s BIGGEST doughnut – it costs £500 & is packed with 170,000 calories

A BAKER has created Britain’s biggest doughnut, weighing as much as a small cow and packed with 170,000 calories.

The whopping £500 doughnut measures 1.5 metres in diameter and weighs 40kg – the same as a baby calf.

It is crammed with 169,342 calories – the equivalent as 740 Mars bars or 1,400 large bananas.

The potential record-breaker contains both a raspberry jam and chocolate filling as well as seven different toppings.

Vanilla cream, chocolate icing, chocolate fudge brownies, raspberries, golden Dairy Milk chunks and swirls of caramel cream all adorn the top of the gigantic snack.

Derbyshire bakery Project D made the doughnut for Marc Brough, who ordered the monster treat for his wife Rebecca as a surprise 40th birthday gift last week.

Rebecca, from Nottingham, lauded the doughnut as the best birthday cake she’s ever received and revealed that none of it went to waste despite its size.

She said it had to be wedged through a pair of double doors at her husbands office-space business where she shared it among staff.

Rebecca said: “It was insane. It was absolutely incredible. I couldn’t believe the size of it when they brought it in.

“The doughnut was so big that they had to fully open the double doors at the Cubo office in Derby just to get it inside the room.

“It was the best birthday cake ever, and it’s fantastic to think my birthday has probably become part of a UK record.

“And, amazingly, none of it went to waste.

“It was shared with everyone and was scoffed in record time. I also saved a piece for each of my children, and they loved it.”

Max Poynton, the manager Project D, said their creation is the UK’s biggest doughnut cake by a ‘long way’.

He said: “We’re over the moon to have been invited to play such a big part in both Rebecca’s special birthday.

“Our design and bakery teams definitely came up trumps with Rebecca’s monster doughnut cake.

“As far as we can find out, it’s the UK’s biggest doughnut by a long way.”
