EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in Yakima, Washington in October 1927, we witness a remarkable feat of culinary achievement. Bakers are seen diligently loading an astounding 400 gallons of apples into an enormous oven to create the world's largest apple pie. This monumental creation was crafted to celebrate National Apple Week and stands an impressive 10 feet across. The sheer scale of this endeavor becomes evident as we learn that it took five cords of wood to heat the oven sufficiently for baking. The resulting masterpiece weighs a staggering one ton! It is awe-inspiring to imagine the skill and precision required by these bakers to undertake such a mammoth task. As if its size wasn't enough to amaze, this colossal pie was devoured by none other than 2000 school children. Their eager anticipation can be felt through time as they eagerly awaited their slice of history. This vintage photograph captures not only the physical enormity of the pie but also serves as a testament to the spirit and ingenuity of those who organized such an extraordinary event. The spectators surrounding the scene add depth and context, highlighting just how significant this record-breaking accomplishment was for Yakima during the roaring twenties. Preserved in monochromatic tones, this historical image transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at both human determination and our love affair with delicious baked goods.
