In Australia, long before colonisation, the tradition of cake baking was rich. Many new traditions have since followed.

Cake is not just an irresistibly delicious treat — it's also an excellent way to trace Australia's history.

For example dripping — the leftover fat from cooked meat — became a common substitute for the more expensive and harder-to-find butter. Powdered milk offered an alternative to fresh milk.

In 1962, Borrowdale's The Golden Circle Tropical Cookbook — the clever solution to a glut of pineapples — sold half a million copies. "It went absolutely bonkers," Sutton says.She marketed herself deftly, had sponsorships with Simpson's flour and Golden Circle pineapple, wrote a newspaper cooking column and was the first Queensland cook to appear on TV — just a few months after the technology debuted in Australian homes.
