Given that I've never baked any I think it's a sign that I need to try a batch (or two). They look great and I love how you laid them out as a man for your nephew's birthday.

Btw - I think the kind of mess this creates is acceptable - it's like a fun mess ;)<br />Sounds like a great birthday party for kids and adults alike!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741739604149676771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-91974162167853993482016-01-19T22:13:29.640+11:002016-01-19T22:13:29.640+11:00Thanks shaheen - glad you enjoyed them - sometimes...Thanks shaheen - glad you enjoyed them - sometimes the ones in the shops don't show you how wonderful they can be when fresh but I understand why you don't make them more - wish I did but they are so fiddly.

Should give them a go some day. And the Lamington Man - clever idea! So much easier than using a cookie cutter.Shaheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602971207085826708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-27156611768549997102016-01-18T22:05:11.435+11:002016-01-18T22:05:11.435+11:00Thanks Mandy - I highly recommend making them at l...Thanks Mandy - I highly recommend making them at least once at home because they are so good fresh but am glad you have a supply of lamingtons locallyJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-18168626295059918282016-01-18T22:04:15.602+11:002016-01-18T22:04:15.602+11:00Thanks Kari - good luck with making lamingtons for...Thanks Kari - good luck with making lamingtons for Australia DAy - I would love to try these with aquafaba for Australia Day but am not sure I will have the energy or timeJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-40926518721409207622016-01-18T22:03:26.450+11:002016-01-18T22:03:26.450+11:00Thanks Louise - I would love to send you a lamingt...Thanks Louise - I would love to send you a lamington to try but it is probably not in keeping with your healthy dietJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-71234647219802398402016-01-18T22:02:55.995+11:002016-01-18T22:02:55.995+11:00Thanks Lorraine - nothing worse than a dry lamingt...Thanks Lorraine - nothing worse than a dry lamington - I have had one or two at cafes and been so disappointedJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-25472644254906764432016-01-18T22:02:25.231+11:002016-01-18T22:02:25.231+11:00Thanks Cakelaw - I can see that the lamington man ...Thanks Cakelaw - I can see that the lamington man would make a great robot!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-6721872974989705372016-01-18T07:56:57.695+11:002016-01-18T07:56:57.695+11:00Ooh these look so good!

Lamingtons aren't that easy to find here in the UK but I've found a little bakery not too far away that does them - perhaps they have an Aussie baker on the staff. One day when I'm feeling brave I will give these a go!

I plan to make another vegan batch for Australia Day this year and you have got me looking forward to them already (if only they were a little less fiddly I am sure I'd make them very regularly as I do love them).Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-76335199523043202272016-01-17T15:04:22.206+11:002016-01-17T15:04:22.206+11:00I think it's adorable that your nephew request...I think it's adorable that your nephew requested Lamingtons for his birthday.
