To celebrate 150 years of built environment education, the University of Melbourne is hosting a Great British Bake Off style competition. The brief: to recreate Melbourne’s architectural icons in baked form. The competition is open to the public, so if you’ve got what it takes to whip up a gingerbread Flinders Street Station or a Black Forest Federation Square, register online before Monday, 22 July to be in the running.
If you're in it to win it, there are cash prizes up for grabs across three categories: general public ($2500), student ($1000) and People’s Choice ($500). Final judging will take place on Sunday, August 18, when the public is invited to view and vote on the best buttercream building or sponge skyscraper, alongside a panel of food, design and architecture experts. Visit the competition website for more information, and start drawing up plans for your meringue masterpiece.
