Aussie Cakes: Create Your Own Edible Aussie Icon

$16.95

Five Islands Press

Forget fairy cakes, clown cakes and popular cartoon characters, here is a cookbook which will help you recreate your own edible Australian icon.

Fancy introducing Kassie the koala, Sammy the snake, Emma the echidna or Dave the dingo to your little one's next birthday celebration?

Aussie Cakes has instructions on how to turn these mammals and reptiles, which play an important role in the country's identity, into a memorable cake.

If you're planning an Australia Day party for January 26, there are a couple of options here which would help make your shindig a complete celebration of things Aussie.

For such a party, there are cake options including a Weber barbecue, complete with sausages, kebabs and eggs; a Victa lawnmower, a soccer ball, meat pie and, lastly, one in the shape of Australia.
