Womens Weekly Birthday Cake Book – what was your fav?

There was once a time when cartoon animals and dolls in cakes wasn’t the norm, but that all changed when the Womens Weekly Birthday Cake book was released and boring white icing on a fruitcake was a thing of the past (unless you were born pre 1950)… 

First published in 1980 The Womans Weekly Birthday Cake Book has been a regular in many households changing the futures of all Australian children. To talk more about the history of The Australian Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake Book, Rach and Dean from JOY Breakfast were joined by Food Historian Dr Lauren Samuelsson from the University of Wollongong 

Also, there is an exhibition at the Bendigo Art Gallery celebrating the 90 year anniversary of the AWW. It has a large display about the Birthday Cake Book – might be interesting to your listeners if they’re planning a little getaway.
