I can't claim this idea as my own, but I have just spent a good part of this election afternoon baking and decorating a cake in the shape of the Australian House of Representatives.
For the trainspottery among you, each of the lower house seats as of the 2007 election are represented by a single jellybaby. Unfortunately, since blue jellybabies don't exist, the Liberals are a non-traditional orange tonight (ALP is red, Nationals are yellow and independents green) - I know it's not exactly true to the spirit of the excellent Antony Green and his fabulous chamber graphics, but what can be done? It's extremely wonky, but I guess that's what you get for squishing 151 jellybabies on top of a standard sized cake!
As sad as it may be, I'm not ashamed to say that I had fun with this! We will be cutting into it to drown our sorrows or celebrate sweet victory with friends tonight. Yikes.
