Parkring 12A, 1010 Wien, Österreich - On May 31, 2025, the Vienna Marriott Hotel in Vienna turned into a Mecca for Cheesecake lovers. Over 1,400 guests took part in the event, which is known as a traditional cheesecake tasting. According to Leadersnet were eaten 8,400 cheesecake pieces.

The event started from 12 p.m. and went as long as the stock was enough. Admission was free and a reservation was not necessary, which is why the guests went to a "first come, first cheesecake" principle. The organizer were the boss Patissier Gilles Guillot and the hotel team, which caused enthusiasm with creative recipes.
