World record for largest ever cheese sculpture broken by British woman

A British woman has broken the world record for the largest ever cheese sculpture after carving a half-ton replica of the Queen’s Coronation crown – out of cheddar.

Cordon Bleu chef Tanys Pullin, 46, spent over 100 hours sculpting 600kg of Farmhouse Cheddar to mark the 57th anniversary of the Queen’s Coronation.



She worked in a cold storage room to protect the structure of the crown, which smashed the previous world record by over 200kg, when it weighed in at 500.4kg.

Mother-of-four Tanys, from Wells, Somerset, who also makes wedding cakes out of cheese, said she is ”very relieved” to have broken the record.
