There’s no denying that we love a good Vanilla Slice here at New Idea Food.

But while we’ve tasted our fair share of the Aussie ‘Snot Block’ classic dessert - and by fair share, we mean 237901282 - there’s one we’re dying to get our hands on.

This secret Aussie cafe’s ‘SNOT BLOCK SKYSCRAPER’ has been named the LARGEST Vanilla Slice by the Guiness Book of Records.

The Flinders Vanilla Slice Cafe - previously known as the Flinders Fish ‘N Chip shop - in Cheltenham, Melbourne, has the very prestigious honour of holding the Guiness World Record for the largest vanilla slice.

Taller than a teaspoon, the mega vanilla slice is definitely a sight to behold - and has even been described as the ‘Snot Block Skyscraper’. Ha!

The store proudly displays the certificate given to them by the Guiness Book of Records, which reads: ‘The largest vanilla slice weighs 508kg and was made by Flinders Fish ‘N Chips in Flinders, Victoria, Australia.’

And while the Guinness Book of Records were clearly impressed - so are their legion of fans.

Tones and I took a mini road trip to Cheltenham this morning and we stumbled upon a Guinness world record winning vanilla slice place. I was HAVING THAT and we went in to the shop to find the loveliest happiest sun shiney people who are so proud of their goods and so warm and welcoming to everyone who enters. Side note: The owner lady told me I look like Drew Barrymore and that I'm very beautiful so she is now my favourite person in the world and I couldn't love these guys or their vanilla slices more ❤️❤️❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #tellmeimprettyandimyoursforever #vanillaslice #randomsaturdayadventures

Says one fan: ‘Hands down the best Vanilla Slice I’ve ever had - but it did take me 20 minutes to work out how to eat it lol.’

Another said: ‘We stumbled upon a Guinness World Record winning vanilla slice place. I was HAVING THAT and we went in to the shop to find the loveliest happiest sun shiny people who are so proud of their goods and so warm and welcoming to everyone who enters.’

Love that! While there’s been some competition from other super tall vanilla slices around the country, it seems Flinders has one up on all of them with their Guinness Book of Records honour.

As another fan: ‘It’s vanilla slice - unlike anything you’ve seen before.’
