FORT PAYNE, Alabama (AP) -- Move over, Fort Payne. It looks like Las Vegas has taken the cake.
After 15 years of being known as the city that created the world's largest birthday cake, this Alabama town may have to forfeit the title.
Las Vegas created its own giant cake last weekend in celebration of the city's 100th birthday. The cake, assembled by 600 volunteers, weighed 130,000 pounds and measured 102 feet long, 52 feet wide and 20 inches high.
Organizers said they expected Guinness Book of Records officials to confirm the Sin City confection as the world's largest within weeks.
Fort Payne has held the title since 1989, when it created a 128,238-pound cake in the shape of Alabama to commemorate the city's 100th birthday.

What a shame. As my dad came up with the idea in Fort Payne, it's sad to see this record finally broken. At least I have the memories and the pictures. :)
