A former Great British Bake Off winner has baked the world's largest Jaffa Cake, for a second time.

Frances Quinn, who won Bake Off in 2013, used more than 160 eggs, 8 kilograms of dark chocolate and 15 kilograms of jelly for the creation which has diameter of 175cm.

The record-breaking cake took 11 hours to make from start to finish, was the equivalent of more than 6,557 regular-sized Jaffa Cakes and weighed a whopping 80 kilograms!

It's not the first time food lovers from around the world have supersized their snacks. Take a look at some of these other jumbo food creations.

Mexico has broken its own record for largest torta sandwich

You might be used to having sandwiches in your packed lunch, but we guarantee you have never packed something like this in your school rucksack.

Crowds gathered in Mexico City, Mexico, to watch a group of chefs try to break the country's record for the largest torta - which is Spanish for 'sandwich' - ever made and it was quite a spectacle!

According to organisers, the traditional sarnie measured in at a whopping 70 metres long and weighed 865kg - making it the longest one ever prepared in Latin America.

The sandwich was made up from thousands of pieces of bread, meats, tomatoes, onions and avocado, which had been mixed with more than 60 ingredients, including hundreds of litres of mayonnaise, mustard and spicy sauces.

Each section of the super torta had a different flavour crafted by local cooks over the years.

450-metre-long birthday cake

Bakers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, served up a massive 450-metre-long cake to celebrate the city's 450th anniversary in March 2015.

The cake was made from around 30,000 eggs, 2,500 bags of flour and lots of butter, and took 10 bakers three days to make it.
