GUISEPPE'S 1st BDAY
A very special Beef Cake (!) for Guiseppe the baby pug on her 1st Birthday. Cake from Pets & The City.



AMY'S CUPCAKE BDAY CAKE
This is an experimental cupcake-cake i made last year for DJ Amy (Macromantics). I did a food blog about it that you can read here.


CHILDHOOD CAKES - 1987
Every year as kids, my brothers and i would thumb through this old Women's Weekly Kids Birthday Cake book and hassle our Mum to make the craziest cakes. Here are a couple from 1987:


This is "Sniffety" the rabbit with liquorice whiskers!


What a phenomenal Train Cake this is, with biscuit wheels and popcorn in its carriages....!

It seems something went awry in 1987, and half of our photos are double-exposed. You'll see my bro and i cuddling in another photo across his awesome Sweathog jumper... cute!

EAST BRUNSWICK CLUB - $10 MONDAYS

280 Lygon Street, East Brunswick
http://www.eastbrunswickclub.com/

Everyone should hit the East Brunswick Club for a bite and a beer on Ten Buck Mondays. There are loads of vegan counter meals, and jugs of beer are just a tenner as well.

Tonight i wish i wasn't so partied out and was eating and drinking at the East to the tune of DJs Romy Hoffman (Macromantics) and Max Kohane (Agents of Abhorrence).
