Cake coins 'celebrate memories'

蛋糕硬幣“慶祝回憶”

Royal Australian Mint's acting chief executive officer Emily Martin said the fun-filled recipe book held a special place in the hearts and minds of many, and the coins would hopefully reflect that same level of nostalgia.

澳大利亞皇家造幣廠的代理首席執行官艾米莉·馬丁（Emily Martin）說，充滿樂趣的食譜書在許多人的心中佔據了特殊的位置，硬幣希望能反映出同樣的懷舊程度。

"This coin collection doesn't just showcase cakes. It celebrates memories, it celebrates tradition, creativity and family."

“這個硬幣收藏不僅展示了蛋糕。它慶祝回憶，還慶祝傳統，創造力和家庭。”

Ms Martin said the recipe book was a fixture of her own childhood.

馬丁女士說，這本食譜書是她自己童年時期的固定裝置。

"I have such fond memories of growing up with this book — my sister and I would choose our birthday cake weeks in advance, and mum would do her best to recreate them."

“我對這本書的成長有瞭如此美好的回憶 - 我的姐姐和我會提前幾週選擇生日蛋糕，媽媽會盡力重建它們。”

To avoid any threat of scams, the Mint recommended customers only make purchases through valid channels such as newsXpress online or stores, the Mint Shop or Mint Contact Centre.

為了避免任何騙局的威脅，薄荷建議的客戶僅通過有效的渠道（例如NewsXpress Online或Stores，Mint Shop或Mint Contact Center）進行購買。

One of the book's authors, Pamela Clark, previously told the ABC she believed the success of the recipes came down to the "daginess of the cakes".

這本書的一位作者帕梅拉·克拉克（Pamela Clark）此前曾告訴美國廣播公司（ABC），她認為食譜的成功歸結為“蛋糕的味道”。

"They look rough and ready, they were rough and ready, and they're not scary at all, and I think most people, even if they've never made a cake before, will give those cakes a go," she said.

她說：“他們看起來粗糙而準備就緒，他們已經變得粗糙又準備好，而且他們根本沒有恐怖，我認為大多數人，即使他們以前從未做過蛋糕，也會讓那些蛋糕去。”

"Kids don't care about the details of the cake, how messy it might look … They realise that this cake has been made with love for them."

“孩子們不在乎蛋糕的細節，看起來多麼混亂……他們意識到這把蛋糕是用對他們的愛製成的。”

At the launch event for the coins on Thursday, Australian Women's Weekly food director Fran Abdallaoui said a reunion was recently held for the book's original creators.

在周四的硬幣發布會上，澳大利亞女子周刊食品總監Fran Abdallaoui表示，最近為這本書的原始創作者舉行了團聚。

"To see them back in the test kitchen was so heartwarming," she said.

她說：“在測試廚房裡看到他們是如此令人心動。”
