A team at a Missouri cake festival said members broke a world record by getting their car -- made of mostly cake and confections -- up to 28 mph.

Carey Iennaccaro and her partner, Mike Elder, said their car had to be made of 95 percent edible materials and make it to at least 10 mph to break the Guinness World Record Sunday at KC CakeFest in Kansas City, the Kansas City (Mo.) Star reported Monday.

The pair said their car, which is edible save for the tires, aluminum chassis and brakes, made it up to 28 mph when Iennaccaro strapped on a helmet and drove it down Wyandotte Street.

The pair said they wanted to remove the public perception reality shows have created about cake bakeries being full of nastiness and bad attitudes.

"We're all a little fed up with how the world thinks we are cutthroat and negative," said Iennaccaro, assistant cake artist for the project and owner of Sprinkled With Sugar in Olathe. "We're all about having fun."

45km 로 달리는 케이크

미국 미주리주, 켄사스 시티에서 열린 한 케이크 축제에서 케이크 자동차가 무려 시간 당 28마일(시속 45km)의 기록을 세웠다. 캐리 르나캐로(Carey Iennaccaro)와 마이크 엘더(Mike Elder)씨에 따르면 케이크 자동차의 타이어, 브레이크 등을 제외하고, 95 퍼센트를 먹을 수 있는 재료로 만들었다고 한다.

두 사람은 그 동안 미국 내에 리얼리티 쇼에서 자주 묘사되는 제빵업계에 대한 안 좋은 이미지를 씻기를 원한다고 말했다.

캐리 씨는 “(제빵업계에 대한)부정적인 이미지에 대해 더 이상 참을 수 없었다”고 말했다. 그리고 “모두가 즐길 뿐” 이라고 덧붙였다.
