Australia Cake
Viviene, a friend of ours from work, has returned to Australia. But before she left, me and my housemates helped throw a going away party for her. To mark the occasion, we made an Australia Cake. This cake was a triple batch of an Orange Cointreau cake (Orange Rum Cake, Joy of Cooking), cut into 6 pieces and rearranged into the shape of Australia. The design of the “interlocking” pieces was so good that only a small piece was left over as “waste”!

The cake with a little “Spackle” icing (Buttercream icing, Joy of Cooking) to hold the pieces together and fill in the gaps. |

Almost finished, with a Bittersweet Chocolate Glaze icing (Joy of Cooking, too!). |

Viviene, herself, provided the finishing touch by putting on the jelly bean cities! |

Mmmm! Can I have a little more South Australia, please? |
