The Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book (or simply AWWCBCB) is a popular recipe book focused on children's-themed birthday cakes published as part of The Australian Women's Weekly magazine cookbook series by Australian Consolidated Press, written by Maryanne Blacker and Pamela Clark. First published in 1980 and re-released in 2011, its cultural impact has been variously described as an "Australian cult classic",[1] a "cultural icon" and "national treasure".[2] Between its launch in 1980 and its relaunch in 2011, notwithstanding it having been out of print for a significant portion of the intervening period,[1][3] the recipe book sold more than a million copies – earning its description as a "publishing phenomenon".[3]
During the 1970s and 80s, The Australian Women's Weekly was among the highest-selling magazines in Australia and published a wide range of titles for cake decorating, recipe and meal ideas in both book and magazine form.
