Queensland may be at the bottom of the world, but our cake skills span the globe.

• At the International Cake Show we meet the car-sized cake maker Daniel Greensill - it took him 6 months working out of his garage.

• Aunty Dale from My Dilly Bag shares how First Nations people have made cakes for thousands of years.
