In Neuch\u00e2tel, it\u2019s also gone up in size: 82.5 centimeters in diameter, more than 11 kilograms of chocolate, 3 kilograms of pink icing, and 3.5 kilograms of shortbread dough.

It took several days of work to create a ganache strong enough to support the weight of the frosting. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rain could have ruined the celebration. Originally planned to take place in front of the Temple du Bas, the event was ultimately held at Coffice on Rue Saint-Maurice. The morning featured decoration workshops with Chocolatissimo, discussions with prevention organizations, and tastings. The giant carac was cut into more than 400 slices and distributed to the public.   <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the record, the campaign continues throughout October at more than 500 retail locations across Switzerland. This year, the campaign is expanding to German-speaking Switzerland, from Bern to Zurich via Gstaad. For every pink carac sold, 50 centimes are donated to partner organizations.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Measuring 82.5 centimeters in diameter, the pink carac from Confiserie Schmid has set the world record announced by the association Le Carac Rose.
