Five bakers in Zacatlan, Mexico worked for two weeks baking 20,689 loaves of bread in order to assemble what has now been named the world's largest bread mosaic.

I didn't even know this was a category, but I'm pretty sure Guinness just makes up the categories as they go.

The 2,222-square-foot mosaic was made for Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, and featured a picture of the skeleton woman La Catrina, a traditional character of the Mexican holiday.

Here's a close up:

That's a lot of conchas! Unfortunately, after two weeks spent baking, and assembling the mosaic, I doubt any of them are still edible.

But at least it looks cool.
