MUSEUM HOME | LIBRARY

We are assembling a full library of all Australian Cake Decorating books. The earliest we have is dated 1899 and was part of a three piece set of notes by a Mrs Baxter who was giving lessons on Artistic Confectionery at Sydney Technical College at the time.

Someone must know more about these people or must have more knowledge that they can share, so that the history of the Art can be properly recorded.

We are also seeking equipment that could be called typically Australian. This is quite difficult as cake decorators and pastry cooks continue to use equipment that they have had for years, but the Museum would be very pleased to accept donations of equipment that people feel are part of our history.

There are some Australia cake decorating books for sale. Click on the books link either at the top or bottom of the page to see what is available.

Following is a list of books that are held in the museum library. We are aiming to hold a complete list of all Australian publications. There are several missing from the collection at present and if anyone has one available or knows of one that is not on the list we would be very pleased to hear about it.
