It may not meet Guinness's standards, but Cass Corridor's Avalon International Breads is certainly baking Detroit's biggest stollen wreath this season. The German holiday bread loaf — made with brandy-soaked fruits, nuts, spices, and topped with icing — required "special custom kitchen equipment," according to Bedrock Real Estate Services. The final product weighs around 45 pounds.
Sales from the ring will go to charity. Take a bite out of the stollen wheel at City Loft on from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on December 17. Slices will be available for $2.
Avalon isn't the first to attempt a gargantuan feat of food engineering this year. Hamtramck chocolate geniuses Bon Bon Bon designed a 313-foot-long chocolate box in October. The stunt was staged inside the RenCen and drew huge crowds.
Correction: Bedrock did not "commission" the stollen wreath.
