SCRUMPTIOUS STATIONS



Glorius fod
The cool thing
about a foodie
party is cooking
your own food!
First, decide
what’s on the
menu. Choose a
dish that’s easy and fun
to make – like homemade pizzas
with salad, tacos or toasted
sandwiches. Choosing the filling

will be the best part! Set up a
table with all the ingredients and
have an adult help you with any
prep and cooking.


Delish d sert
Yaassss, you’ve got to have a
dessert station. We’re thinking
cupcakes and cookies that guests
can bake and then decorate, or
ice cream and fruit salad with
plenty of toppings to decorate
with. Delish!




Re ip frenzy
Find a tricky recipe, making sure
it has quite a few steps. Make two
extra copies, cut up the steps
of the recipe and mix them up.
Divide your guests into two teams.
The first team to arrange the

recipe in the correct order wins.

Ever wond re what d s
ert que n
eats? Wond r o m re!

Hi Kat! Congrats on Bake Australia Great.
Which recipe are you most proud of?
I LOVE the Glamington cake, because it’s utterly
delicious, easy to make, and looks gorgeous!


What do you eat when you’re by yourself,
maybe watching TV?
Straight chocolate, chocolate covered biscuits,
chocolate ice cream, CHOCOLATE EVERYTHING!

Do you prefer sweet or salty snacks?
I adore both equally, eeeeep.

What would you eat if you could only
have one food for the rest of
your life?
Lasagne – be it vegetarian, vegan, and
the meat varieties. I’ve never met a
lasagne I didn’t like! It’d be nice to have
a side salad too, haha.

What do you eat to stay happy
and healthy?
Loads of green veggies (I love
broccolini and brussels sprouts)
and a generous handful of mixed
raw nuts every single day.

What do you like to eat
for breakfast?
Either low sugar granola topped with raw nuts, or
two eggs with Promite and rye bread.

What’s in your everyday lunch box?
Some kind of healthy wrap, either with falafel
or haloumi with loads of avocado and delicious
crunchy bits.

Whether she’s baking Australia’s largest cake
for dogs or cooking on MasterChef, pastry star
Anna Polyviou is keeping things epic.






Hey, Anna – you just made
Australia’s largest cake
for dogs, whoa! Tell us
about that.
It took me about three months
for it to come together, and
then I had to get my mate Paul
who owns a big cake shop to
help us bake it all up because
there are 24 cakes in that cake.
So it was 120 kilograms and 1.5
metres tall! We used ingredients
like wholemeal flour, honey,
a little bit of potato mash,
yoghurt and cream cheese. All
those beautiful ingredients,
and carrots as well, to make it
nutritional for the dogs.

Oh yeah you can, it’s just not as
sweet, that’s all.

all those dogs eating cake?
They’re quite well behaved. I
expected the dogs to go crazy
but I think they didn’t know if
they could eat it or not. There

to the Chinese zodiac?
Look out, TGs – 2020’s going
to be a special year. While
under the Chinese zodiac, 2019
was the Year of the Pig, 2020
will be the Year of the Rat. As

the lucky li’l rodent is the first

2020 is said to be all about
new beginnings, strength and
prosperity (is a pocket money

Maaaaaybe). It’s a year for
working hard on your goals,
aspirations and hobbies. The
Year of the Rat begins on
January 25, 2020. Celebrate
by eating nuts and cheese,
wearing special clothes and
jewellery to parties, and if
you’re a TG in a Chinese
