The Cup cake that stops a nation

Mona Vale newsagent Amanda Liversage is raffling a red straw hat to raise funds for charity.

The hat has been specially made for Melbourne Cup day on Tuesday.

There’s one drawback, the hat’s not wearable, she said.

“It’s actually a chocolate mud cake - I’ve put signs up in the shop saying that you can’t wear it,” she said.

“It’s a real work of art. The red straw is textured and the decorations are partially edible. It’s almost too beautiful to eat.”

Local cake-maker Melanie White created the Belgian chocolate mud cake with its layer of dark chocolate ganache.

Raffle tickets for the cake are for sale in the Mona Vale News on Bungan St until Monday afternoon.

“The draw will be on Monday at 2pm so that there’s plenty of time for the winner to collect the cake for Cup day functions,” Ms Liversage said.

Tickets are $3 each, two for $5 and five for $10. Proceeds will go to the Australian Red Cross.
