Almost every Australian in the last 30 years has grown up, with their Mum’s making them a Birthday cake from the Australian Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake book. I remember as a child Mum making my sister and I our birthday cakes that we requested from it.
A friend of mine offered and made our son the “Choo- Choo Train” last year from an original copy she had from her mother. Our Son just loved the cake and couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful it was.
After flicking through the book he decided that for his next birthday he wanted “Robert the Robot”. And for the following 12 months at every opportunity he mentioned that he was having a “Robot Cake”

As luck would have it, a special collectors edition was released this year and I bought a copy. So for our sons 4th Birthday my husband and I made “Robert the Robot” for him.
It really wasn’t as difficult as we anticipated and the finished result was amazing.
We had one small disaster because I had greased the pans, but I didn’t line them with baking paper.
We made a second batch of cakes that came out of the pans lined with baking paper without a problem.

We also cheated slightly, because we didn’t make the suggested Vienna Cream icing. We purchased ready-made icing and coloured it blue.
Special mention also goes out to our friend "TD" who recently made the “Candy Castle” for her daughter.It looked fabulous and was a massive hit with the Kids and (of course) the Adults
