Melbourne's Longest Cake

A busy weekend chock full of major events and festivals in Melbourne these couple of days. I was on my way to the FINA festival when passing through the Crown Complex and saw something that I've never seen before.

It was the longest cake in Melbourne! It is actually a series of long cakes that makes up to nearly 200 metres. This is a fund raising event of the Cerebral Palsy support network in conjunction with the Royal Children's Hospital.

You can can buy a slice of the cake for $10 and the money will go into the support fund. The cake is made by Crown's head honcho of food and beverage, Walter Wagner and does not contain nuts in case some people are allergic. You can find the recipe for the cake here.

Wouldn't you like your birthday cake to be this long so you can have half of it for yourself and the rest for your guests. Don't get too sick eating it all ya!

I will never understand why there is this whole "Longest/ Biggest/ Heaviest Food Item" fixation around the world....

I used to think it was just a "Malaysia Boleh" syndrome but it seems to be an international affliction!
