A cake-decorating frenzy at Chelsea Bay saw all 106 cakes in The Australian Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book created over two days.

Chelsea Bay Manager Ginny Brocklehurst said the event, held in the Edmonds Baking School in August, attracted a large amount of local interest.
“We had a hugely successful two days with Jono and Ben,” she said.
“They were originally going to bake and decorate all 106 cakes but ended up only decorating them after they realised that baking them as well would be too much.
“Our café pastry chef, Sophie Kim, baked some of the sponges for them.
“We got a large amount of radio coverage from the event to promote the Edmonds Baking School, which was fantastic.”
Ginny said the finished creations were distributed to the general public.

“Some radio fans had already called in and requested certain cakes, which the radio team delivered to them, and a few of our Chelsea staff got to take some home too.”
