The Australian Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book
RRP $19.99
First published in 1980, this iconic book has been loved for generations and is the go-to kids’ birthday cake bible for so many Aussies. Its success is a phenomenon. Since the book’s release 40 years ago it has sold more than half a million copies. A 40th-anniversary edition has just been released, and while the train cake cover has had a modern makeover, inside everything is exactly the same.
Many of us have a childhood memory of poring over the pages to choose this year’s cake. Be it the cricket pitch cake lined with a fence of chocolate finger biscuits and dusted in green coconut grass, or the Dolly Varden cake with a skirt covered in marshmallows – choosing your cake was as important a task as eating it! Once the decision was finally made, poor mums and dads across the nation were entrusted with the task of attempting to construct the masterpiece.
