Just when you thought Bluey couldn’t get any better, think again. For the first time ever, two of Australia’s most beloved icons are coming together for a weekend of pure nostalgia and joy.

To mark the 45th anniversary of The Australian Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book, BBC Studios is opening the doors to the Bluey Duck Cake Cafe – where Heeler fans can step into Bluey’s universe and honour the legendary birthday sponge.

Kids (and their grown-ups) will be able to decorate their own Duckling Cupcakes as well as meet the very person who invented the Australian staple, Agnes Lee.

The 80-year-old baker emigrated from Hong Kong in 1978, and applied for a job at The Australian Women’s Weekly after seeing an ad in the local paper. 

Two years later, Lee created the recipe that would become the centrepiece of thousands of children’s birthday parties and a cherished part of childhood for generations of Australians.

Now, the Duck Cake has received international fame after making an appearance in an episode of Bluey where Bandit, like many other parents, attempts to construct the cake with… mixed results. It’s the effort that matters, okay?

Will Bluey be at the cafe?

It wouldn’t be a Bluey cafe without an appearance from the blue heeler herself! 

Cafe-goers can expect a meet and greet with the famous dog, and possibly even a photo opportunity! Hooray!

When will the cafe be open?

The Bluey Duck Cake Cafe will be open across the weekend from Saturday, October 11 to Sunday, October 12. 

Where is the Bluey Duck Cafe?

The cafe will be in Sydney, with the address provided on the ticket. 

How can I get tickets?

Tickets are free, and will be available via ballot on Friday, October 10. 

Once signed up, ticket holders can check into the Bluey Duck Cafe and be ready to enter a magical world of wholesome nostalgia and, of course, cake.
