** 24 kg mixed spices.
Organisations can sponsor metre-long slices of history and have their corporate logo decorated on the cake and members of the public can also indulge their sweet tooth and enjoy a slice of Melbourne’s longest cake with coffee, tea or a drink at $10. The event will be hosted by radio and television personality Shaun Micallef and entertainment will come courtesy of performers with a disability.
