A giant cake is being assembled in SAIT just in time for Alberta's birthday. When students are done, the cake will be 15 feet wide by 30 feet long. Organizers will then attempt to light 20,000 candles on the cake. If they are successful, it will be a new guiness world record.
I wish the students much luck with the cake and candle lighting but they will have to increase the number of candles if they want to top the current Guiness record holder. In New York on Saturday, Aug. 27, 2005 Ashrite Furman organized the lighting of 27,000 birthday candles in honor of spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy's 74th birthday.

The SAIT candle-lighting ceremony, which took place inside a restaurant, forced the evacuation of all in attendance and had to be put out by the fire department.
