Peace Cake in Maryborough, April 1919

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The Story Behind This Sculpture The original cake was specially made for the Mayoral Victory Ball held at Maryborough’s Town Hall to celebrate the end of the First World War. The original photograph was taken from SLQ’s collection of the night on April 29, 1919, in Maryborough. The night’s program featured dancing, music provided by a ‘Naval Band’ and a 30-foot model airship suspended from the ceiling. The main attraction however was the ‘Peace Cake’. The Maryborough Chronicle reported its intricate details: “Messrs Stellmach and Sons, the well-known bakers, were commissioned on short notice to prepare a cake worthy of the occasion, and in fulfilling the order have combined skill and ingenuity, and marked artistic taste, with most pleasing results. The cake stands about 5 feet high (1.5 meters), is approximately 24 inches in diameter (61cms), and weighs from three-quarters to one hundredweight (38 to 51kgs).” The principal sculptor Ms Elizabeth Hersey together with colleague Marni Koster completed the replica cake with the help of local cake decorators and sculptors. Every piece has been painstakingly made by hand, right down to each piping replica. Elizabeth conducted extensive research on the original cake to ensure each embellishment and element is historically correct. Elizabeth specializes in detailed bronze wildlife sculptures, cast in small limited editions. Marni creates free-form and abstract sculptures and has exhibited locally.
