Arguably the hardest cake in the Australian Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book. I made this cake with some very creative students while I was in residence at Scotch Oakburn College in Launceston, Tas. I photographed the cake in the classroom to demonstrate lighting techniques, and we ate the cake together at the end of the day. I spent the next couple of weeks painting the cake in oils using the photos we took. There’s something magical about that cookbook.
I’m on a delicious mission to bake the most iconic cakes of Australian childhoods and document them through oil painting. You see, I was a Canadian kid, so I have a lot of catching up to do.
