A lamington is an Australian cake made from squares of butter cake or sponge cake coated in an outer layer of chocolate icing and rolled in desiccated coconut.. A common variation has a layer of cream or strawberry jam between two lamington halves...wikipedia

A great page to share this Aussie classic. The masked large photo looks great. Great how you included the way to make them simply. As always you have created a beautiful flower cluster.

Yummy page! I'm drooling, lol. I really love the use of the elements, and especially of the ribbon adding movement, brilliantly done!

How awesome that you filled the alpha with the frosting from the lamington's! Very impressive detail. Your cluster is almost as delicious as the cake looks and sticking the flag into it! Genius!

mmm, sounds so deelish. I'd be making the lazy version, but more than willing to eat ANY version. Unbelievably clever treatment of the title. So very creative, I love it. The sprinkles, ribbons, and double border are outstanding. Now I need to find out WHY it's called Lamington...
