Australia Day is coming up on the 26th January and we have been learning about this great South Land that we live in. As lamingtons are an original Australian dessert, we read β€œThe Lamington Man’ by Kel Richards, which our boys really loved.  After reading this book, we decided to make some lamingtons, with a twist. We made them in the shape of  a Lamington Man.

 The Lamington Man A

To make these lamington men, we first made a vanilla cake which we baked in a large baking tray. Usually when I make a cake in this tray, I make two cake batters
