Gifty Kodie hopes to bake for 120 hours over six days to surpass the current GWR bake-a-thon record held by Alan Fisher, an Irish Chef, who baked for 47 hours and 28 seconds in 2023.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, Gifty said she hoped to etch her name in the GWR history books by dethroning Alan Fisher and setting a higher record that would be difficult for anyone to break.
She also said that she is embarking on this arduous task to create awareness for her bakery business, which plummeted a few months back due to land some litigation issues.
According to Gifty, the land litigation issues resulted in her bakery shop being demolished.
"I'm doing this bake-a-thon to put my bakery business on the market and create awareness since my shop was demolished," she stated.
Gifty's bake-a-thon will begin at 4 PM on Monday at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
She called on Ghanaians to throng the venue to support and encourage her as she attempts to bake for 120 hours.
