National Lamington Day Fundraiser - Has Ended

National Lamington Day website

Every year on July 21st, National Lamington Day celebrates Australia’s most famous culinary icon, the Aussie lamington. The day also encourages people to eat a lamington while spreading the word about this tasty cake and supporting charity, another reason to celebrate the lamington, is that Lady Lamington was the first Patron of Braille House.
Organisa a Lamington Drive, bake your own, or just buy some laminngtons and share them with your friends or teammates.

Host a morning tea of lamingtons and invite your guests to donate (perhaps a gold coin) to Braille House.

All the stories about how the lamington came about involve Lord Lamington. One story suggests that his chef was called up on short notice to feed unexpected guests. The chef made the cake with the limited number of ingredients he had on hand. However, the tasty cake so impressed the guests, they asked for the recipe.
