Cake show: Oodles of astounding confectionery creations

By: ew-admin /Updated on: August 29, 2025

There were some pretty stunning (and delicious) cakes, pastries and biscuits on show at the annual Cake, Bake and Sweets expo in Melbourne this weekend (October 4 and 5). Our roving reporters, Judy and Becky Gonsalves, captured plenty of images of the thousands of amazing confectionery creations on display, including an incredible life-size white chaise lounge which was 100% edible, a world record chocolate flower bouquet attempt and, of course, wedding cakes galore!

The finishing touches are put on a 100% edible, life-sized chaise lounge. Even the walls of this stand were covered in icing!
