Well that’s a dose of nostalgia I never expected. This comes from the “Australian Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake” book. A cake from that book was a rite of passage for many Aussie kids and mums in the 80s and 90s, though rare was the mum who dared tackle the duck cake. Bluey certainly knows their audience, or at least their audiences’ parents lol.

As an Australian, it's sending me that he's not just following the instructions from the book. Mostly, because he's actually making spherical cakes. Like, this cake was designed to be cut out of slab sponges from the supermarket. It looks great but it's so extra. I love it. Also, making caramel corn - the popcorn we use is actually from this sweet, multicoloured popcorn we get from the shops. Its not caramel corn. But tbf, I dont know if they have rainbow popcorn in the states...

@@NoThankUBeQuiet yes but pringles aren’t Australian and the Bluey cake is an exact replica of the duck cake from the 80s-90s birthday cake cookbook by The Australian Women’s Weekly. To make this cake in the most authentic way you have to use crinkle cut chips. Every single Aussie kid from that time had multiple different birthday cakes from that cookbook (much to the dismay of every mother who had to make them) including the creators of Bluey, it’s a nostalgia thing.

The book in this show is a real life book. The Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake book. I always wanted the duck as a kid!

I remember picking cakes out of that book when I was little! The pink jewellery box was my favourite

Anne Reardon did an experiment with different kinds of frostings to see not only how they taste but also how they stand up to being outside for a theoretical outdoor children's party. That frosting is an Ermine frosting, and Ermine is the frosting that stands up to the heat the best (second best is American buttercream, which is often considered too sweet and gritty by anyone over the age of 8).

My mom decorated cakes for many years. She made it seamless by smoothing a Viva paper towel between the icing and her spatula. The icing needed to set for a few minutes prior to prevent the paper towel from sticking as she smoothed the whole surface.

Well this is everything I’ve ever wanted. Now you need to make a Pavlova!!!

Ham-Egg-Edon from Green Eggs and Ham episode, "Goat", would be nice on Saint Patrick's Day! Or Dumpling Soup from Wish Dragon movie for the Year of the Dragon starting on February 10th

I was hoping when Babish finally did a Bluey episode we’d get to see the rogan josh and beef rendang from Curry Swap.

The spring rolls from Takeaway, the curried sausages from Phones, Pavlova from...Pavlova! Salad from BBQ, strawberry, mango and cocolate ice cream from Ice Cream. Omelette from Omelette. So many foods from Bluey.

Looking at these comments makes me happy that so many people remember the Women's Weekly cake book.

No, Andy, what are you doing!? This cake is iconic! There's a recipe and instructions on the Women's Weekly website. It's a normal ribbon, not candy ribbon. There's meant to be texture in the icing, the shape is all wrong... please, follow the recipe instructions. I had this cake as a kid many times growing up and that is not the duck cake. It's a box with a duck head.

This was adorable and I loved every second

I instantly recognized that cake, it is from the Woman's Weekly Birthday Cake Book that was sold in Australia and New Zealand. My mum had a copy and she made a few of the cakes from it. I actually found a copy in an op shop and I bought it, since the one we had was all worn out. Loved looking at all the cakes in that book

A bunch of Australians are probably going to point out that the Duck Cake originates the popular Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake book that was a fixture for kids growing up in the 80s and 90s. I am not Australian myself. I am a Canadian who also grew up with a copy of that book in the house, but I never requested the duck cake to be made.

It makes me so sad that there is no longer a number cake for my age, also that ladybug cake is fire

But did you have a heartwarming bonding moment with your daughter as she learned of the joy of helping others? It's in the recipe, I sure hope you didn't forget.
