The group threw nearly 3,000 pies measuring about 6.4 inches for one minute, according to the BBC.

"We were out to put smiles on people's faces," event co-organizer Jennie Dennett told the North-West Evening Mail. "Hearing that roar when everyone went into that 'foam-ageddon' was brilliant. It was a beautifully happy moment."

The evidence of the record will be verified by the Guinness World Record, but the number of attendees recorded by the turnstiles exceeds the previous record of 869 at the Big Fun Flan Fling event in Belfast in 2015.
