Celebrity chefs from around the world were treated to an appetizer of Yas as they climbed aboard the world's fastest roller coaster. Joined by a number of in-resident chefs, the men in white admired the craftsmanship of the world's largest Yas cake crafted by the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi's resident pastry chefs.
