Baking A Difference

Cake isn’t just fun and sprinkles; cake makes a difference. It's a light in dark times bringing people together when they need it most. We speak to: Liz Harfull - author of Tried, Tested and True, who researched over 1000 community cookbooks used for fundraising. Her book includes the very tasty Bert Hinkler recipe from the Bundaberg CWA cookbook - read more about Bert Hinkler on the State Library website. Alison Alexander, co-author of A Generous Helping: Treasured Recipes from the People of Queensland - made in conjunction with the ABC, to share precious recipes after people lost everything in the 2011 floods. Pearly Sprinkles - neurodivergent baker featured on Zumbo’s Just Desserts, who runs ‘mindful baking’ classes with children.
