specially constructed by welders.
It was made from a 100-year-old recipe and it
included 22 pints of clotted cream. It's 700 times bigger
than a standard one.
"We're excited to be entering the record books,"
the Telegraph quoted Helen, of nearby Paignton, as saying.
The Hallett family's creation formed the centrepiece
of the world's largest ever-cream tea assembled at a tea-themed
festival in Torquay, Devon.
