Description: World's Largest Cherry Pie Tin is in Michigan and was the record-setting cherry pie that was baked in Traverse City on July 25, 1987. With a weight of 28,350 pounds and a diameter of 17 feet, 6 inches, the cherry pie made by Chef Pierre Bakeries certainly lived up to Traverse City's title as "The Cherry Capital of the World." The pie tin used for this record-setting pie, measuring 18 feet wide and 26 inches deep, was a significant feat of engineering, built by the Jacklin Steel Supply Company. The collaboration of hundreds of volunteers and bakery employees to assemble, cook, and serve the pie speaks to the community's pride in their cherry heritage and the willingness to come together for such a special event. The pie's completion was an exciting moment, with people lining up to help pass down the 510 buckets of cherry pie filling to fill the massive tin, followed by the addition of the top crust. The finished pie was a sight to behold, and it fed an estimated 35,000 spectators, delighting all who witnessed this unique culinary feat. Even though the pie itself has long been devoured, the tin that held the world's largest cherry pie still stands as a symbol of Traverse City's cherry legacy and the spirit of collaboration and celebration in the community. It has undoubtedly become a memorable and cherished landmark, reminding visitors and locals alike of the city's love for cherries and its claim as "The Cherry Capital of the World."
