Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to blow the candles on his cake today as he turns 66. The grand occasion is to be celebrated by a glorious birthday cake that is set to break the Guinness World Record.
A team of 20 chefs have been working together to bake what will reportedly be the world's tallest pyramid cake, concocted with flavours of chocolate and berry. The entire pyramid is made with over 10,000 blocks which are neatly stacked together.

The Surat-based bakery, Atul Bakery, has collaborated with an NGO called Shakti Foundation which works for the empowerment of rural women. The cake is an ode to his efforts towards women empowerment; with campaigns such as Beti Bachao and Beti Padhao.
