Eko Hotels & Suites bakes Africa’s largest Christmas cake, sets new record at Tropical Christmas Wonderland

Eko Hotels & Suites has once again raised the bar for festive celebrations with the unveiling of its largest-ever Christmas cake at the 2025 edition of the Tropical Christmas Wonderland. The spectacular cake, measuring an astonishing 10 meters long and four meters wide, officially broke last year’s record for the longest Christmas cake, reaffirming the hotel’s reputation for grandeur and innovation.

The record-breaking cake was part of the annual Christmas spectacle, drawing admiration from guests, families, industry stakeholders, and the media. What began as a bold festive idea has now evolved into a yearly ritual, eagerly anticipated as part of Eko Hotels’ end-of-year celebrations.

The ambitious project was led by Chef Nawras, who coordinated a dedicated team of pastry chefs and culinary professionals to bring the monumental creation to life.

“This cake represents teamwork, creativity, and the spirit of Christmas,” Chef Nawras said. “Breaking our own record shows that we are constantly challenging ourselves to do better each year. I’m incredibly proud of the team for their dedication and precision in delivering something truly extraordinary.”

Also speaking at the event, Dr. Iyadunni Gbadebo, Director of Sales and Marketing at Eko Hotels & Suites, highlighted the significance of the tradition beyond the record itself.

“The Tropical Christmas Wonderland is about creating unforgettable experiences,” Dr. Gbadebo noted. “This annual cake has become a symbol of joy, hospitality, and excellence. Breaking last year’s record is not just a win for Eko Hotels, but for Lagos as a destination that celebrates creativity, culture, and festive magic at a global standard.”
