NY has been the site of many a Guinness World Record. But this week, not only was a Guinness record set—it was the first time anyone has claimed the record for this particular item. Newburgh residents Giulio Pistolesi and Scott Wilkinson set the record for the world's largest cannoli (or the proper singular, cannolo). The duo crafted the massive 123-pound cannoli last August in the parking lot outside Pistolesi's bakery, the Cake Bin, but it was only confirmed as the record this past week. No word on whether they left the world's largest gun.
