The record attempt, which was certified by a Guinness adjudicator, took place Thursday at Travelexpo's Third International Tourism Fair at the ATO Congresium convention hall in Ankara.

The baklava record was sponsored by ice cream chain MADO. Mehmet Kanbur, CEO of the company, said the baklava was cooked up after three months of planning and weighed nearly twice as much as a previous record holder.
