A whopping 30,000 eggs, 2,500 bags of flour and a whole load of butter has been used to make a 450m birthday cake for the city of Rio De Janeiro.

Rio in Brazil will host next year's Olympic Games, but today it's celebrating its 450th anniversary.

Lots of other events will be taking place to mark the day.
