LOLLY CAKE LAND....
Hi again… I have just finished my few days in New Zealand, a fab place where I discovered lolly cake… (thanks Belynda!) and met lots of FAB fans! Thanks to everyone in Auckland and Wellington who came to see me at The Children’s Bookshop in Auckland, Takapuna Library and The Children’s Bookstore Kilbirnie… and to the cool kids in the schools I visited, too! You were all brilliant.
Now I am off back to Australia, to melbourne this time, for the very last leg of my tour… so see you there! Keep the posts and emails coming, and watch out for the secrets of lolly cake, too!!!

Hi Mrs. Cassidy, I have just been to your Melbourne visit!I had a lot of fun listening to people asking you questions and you responding to your answers. My best friend too was there and got your autograph! Though, I think they got it done for her school…but not 100% sure.
I think I acted a little too silly for the camera; but I’ll look forward to seeing them on here when they are uploaded!
Thanks, Erzsebet

Hi Cathy, Today my son met you are a workshop at The Victorian State Library.Declan asked you to sign a book for his sister Brie and a birthday card for her upcoming birthday.I just want to say thanks so much.I can’t believe that not only did you sign the book and the card but you went to the trouble of writing a personal message to Brie. She absolutely loves your books and will be so thrilled on her birthday that I am sure she will send you a message.Thanks for being so lovely to both my son and daughter, you new No.1 adult fan….....Thanks Cathy, you have made me day.

meg says...
gday from melbourne!=) like nikki’s son i also saw you at the state library,(as mentioned) our class from brighton secondary college went to the authors talk and I think you signed some books for us, i love the gold pen!it was funny reading gingersnaps as my half of my extended family lives in england and we go over there every 2 years. I loved the mention of the white tippex pen, here it’s called white out. anyway, apparently lolly cake is:”When common or garden fruit puffs are embedded in a matrix of biscuit crumbs and condensed milk, rolled in coconut flakes, and allowed to congeal, the result is Lolly Cake.” delish! megxxxxx p.s. don’t forget to leave australia without at least one jar of Vegemite and a packet of anzac biscuits Yummo!

Cathy Cassidy says...
Have I ever tried lolly cake? I tried one piece…. then another… then another… that’s how gorgeous it was!!! I ended up taking a whole parcel of it back to the hotel room… healthy balanced diet, anyone?!!! I will add the recipe soon, but alas some of the ingredients are not available in the UK so I will have to have a think about what we could use instead…
