I LOVE Pumpkin Pie, so much that I truly believe I could put a fairly hefty dent in this one. Although it is 6 foot wide, and weighs 678 pounds, so it might take me a little while... but it'd be fun trying!

Eight bakers in Holland, Michigan have created a six-foot-wide, 678-pound pumpkin pie. They used 50 pounds of flour, 90 pounds of brown sugar, 660 eggs and 200 pounds of pumpkin pie filling. Also on the list of ingredients were 26 pounds of shortening, 660 cups of evaporated milk and 41 cups of maple syrup.

Sentinel/Dan Irving Ross Boersma and Michele Matthews, managers of Russ' Commissary in Holland, Mich., fill a 6-foot-diameter pie tin with filling Thursday as they create a 678-pound pumpkin pie in celebration of the 60th anniversary of Resthaven Patrons, a local senior care ministry. Organizers say the pie will break the Guinness Book of World Records mark for the world's largest pumpkin pie (Source: http://hannibal.net/stories/111105/news_20051111038.shtml)

The pie is due to be unveiled at a senior citizen apartment complex. The pie was made by a crew from the Alpen Rose Restaurant. It took six to eight hours to bake.
