Introduction to the Guinness World Record Attempt
The city of Fort Lauderdale is set to witness a unique event, as chef Marco Casula attempts to break the Guinness World Record for creating the most varieties of tiramisu. This event is scheduled to take place on October 24, 2025, at Café del Mar, a beachside restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. Casula, who has been a chef for 25 years, aims to create 150 different varieties of tiramisu, each with its own distinct identity, balance, and emotional connection.
The Challenge of Creating 150 Varieties of Tiramisu
Creating 150 varieties of tiramisu is not an easy task, as each variation must have its own unique characteristics. Casula has been working day and night for months to perfect his creations, testing and tasting every detail to ensure that each variety meets the required standards. The first 100 people to attend the event will receive a free tiramisu taster, allowing them to experience the diverse range of flavors and textures that Casula has created.
The Significance of Tiramisu
Tiramisu is a traditional Italian dessert made with ladyfinger sweet sponge cake, mascarpone custard, egg yolks, sugar, and cocoa powder. It is a symbol of Italy and evokes emotions in those who taste it. Casula has always been fascinated by tiramisu and has spent years studying its textures, aromas, and flavors to reinvent it and transform it into a unique experience. He believes that tiramisu has the power to unite people from different cultures around a spoon.
The Role of Café del Mar in the Guinness World Record Attempt
Café del Mar, owned by the Padula family, is the perfect venue for this event. The restaurant’s beachside location and open-air layout make it ideal for large-scale culinary showcases.

A documentary will be filmed during the event, capturing the entire journey from planning and ingredient sourcing to the final reveal of the record-breaking tiramisu. The documentary will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the teamwork, precision, and emotion involved in making history. Casula wants to share with the world the passion, energy, and positive madness behind this dream, and he is proud that it is taking place in Florida.
The Technicalities of the Guinness World Record Attempt
Getting a Guinness World Record is not just about the vibe, but also about the technicalities. The biggest challenge will be perfect coordination, as each tiramisu must be documented, checked, and presented impeccably.
