This festival was truly a weekend festival since it’s from 23th to 25th. I went to the festival alone on Sat 24th, which has been the International FLOUR Festival. There’re a number of bakeries from different cultures, such as Mayan, Italian, Danish, Afrian and middle Eastern just to name a few. I had my lunch before visiting so I didn’t buy anything there, but I did try some of the samples and took the cards of a few bakeries. :)

Mr. Pig came back on Sunday morning and so he, little kid and I went to the Sunday festival together. First we went to the Crown Promenade by the Yarra River for Melbourne Longest Cake.

This was a money raising event for the Cerebral Palsy and Medical research. The cake was 100 metre long, which was about the length of the promenade. It has been displayed on 5 super long tables. We bought a slice of the cake, which turned out to be carrot cake. The recipe for the cake can be found at the Melbourne Longest Cake website.

It was noon when we finished the cake so we went for lunch. After that we headed to the Food and Wine festival, and the day’s theme was “wicked sunday”. We saw a lot of chocolates, many of them in forms of eggs and bunnies as Easter is coming soon. There’s also many stalls selling coffee and icecream/gelato. In the end I only bought an honey and walnut icecream, since I was quite full from eating the cake and then lunch. Little kid bought a ginger and cinnamon gelato, I’ve tried it and it tasted really nice…
