The cooks spent about 40 minutes making it – as a result, the Italian “dumpling” turned out to be more than a meter in diameter. Or to be exact, 109 cm in diameter, which is 10 cm larger than the previous leader. The chefs used 4 kg of flour, 40 eggs and two glasses of olive oil as ingredients for the ravioli. In addition, the masters of Italian cuisine used 5 kg of cheese and spinach for the filling. By the way, the cauldron in which the giant was cooked was made to special order and can also safely be considered one of the largest pots – 1.5 by 1.5 m in size. The record-breaking ravioli was eaten by the audience in 10 minutes.

The cake required 1,045 sponge cake layers, 1,463 kg of fruit and berry jam, 400 kg of condensed milk, 1,777 liters of cream, 150 kg of confectionery gel, and 70 kg of chocolate. 103 Astrakhan chefs were engaged in baking and decorating for three days. The Volga River “flowed” like a blue ribbon across the cake, from its source to its delta. The craftsmen marked each tributary and branch of the river. The main attractions and symbols of 16 Volga cities were located along the banks. Each was represented by a coat of arms and a photo plot made from edible photo paper. The Astrakhan attractions on the cake included the Kremlin, lotuses, and watermelons, while Volgograd was symbolized by the Motherland. The cake was placed on the central embankment. No one counted the number of people who tasted the sweets, but everyone present was able to enjoy the sweet gift.

Initially, it was planned that its weight should be 1743 kg: these symbolic numbers are the date of the foundation of Orenburg. But the results exceeded expectations. After the culinary masterpiece was weighed, it turned out to be almost 100 kg heavier. This is an undisputed record. Three years earlier, 1007 kg of Olivier were prepared in Syktyvkar, and 1500 kg in Pavlodar in 2010.The salad was prepared for almost a day. During this time, several dozen cooks chopped 5,040 eggs, 500 kg of sausage, 220 kg of boiled potatoes, 80 kg of carrots, 40 kg of onions, 20 kg of greens. Moreover, they added hazel grouse, pressed caviar, crayfish - those products that are listed in the recipe invented 150 years ago by the Frenchman Lucien Olivier. At the finish line, the cooks were joined by guests from the capital - People's Artist of Russia Valentina Talyzina and twice Hero of the USSR cosmonaut Georgy Grechko, who shared their family salad recipes. Thus, the Russian cosmonaut adds smoked cod and crab meat to it instead of sausage. And Valentina Talyzina prepares a light "Olivier" - without meat, mayonnaise and eggs, but with apple, red bell pepper, parsley and olive oil. Everyone who was at the Armada Mall that day was able to try Olivier, where they were treated to the traditional New Year's dish. And several portions went to Moscow - to the authors and actors of the film "The Irony of Fate".
