After this, can there be any doubt that we're a world-class city?

The Boston Foodie fills us in: We now hold the record for the world's largest cannoli - 12 feet and 300 pounds of rich, sugary goodness.

In order to replicate the tiny chocolate bits used in the typical cannoli, full-size Hersey's kisses were brought in. I also asked exactly how they filled the entire thing. The answer: holes were drilled along the top of the shell and the filling was piped in from there. This was like the Big Dig of pastry engineering!

...did they freeze the mascarpone and then pump it in as a slurry?

Yes, Somerville is a world class city. It's a Somerville company that created the cannoli.

My first thought was, "Did they make the shell at the Golden Cannoli Shell factory in Somerville?"

The answer is yes.
