The Brisbane Ekka's Novelty Cakes

Last week I visited our local Ekka, which is where the country and city come together in a carnival like setting for 10 days every year.  There are heaps of great things on display - animals of every description, fruits, vegetables, crafts, art and of course cookery.  The cookery section has lots of jams, preserves, scones, cakes and sweets but the favourite section is no doubt the decorated cakes as evidenced by the number of people taking their time to have a good look.

Not only were there lots of beautiful wedding cakes, there were plenty of ideas for novelty birthday cakes as well.  Here's a few of my favourites.
