Titanic: Can Kids Have Titanic Birthday Cakes? What They Ate On Board

February 12, 2024 by Emily Naismith in Snack

Is there a reason the Women’s Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book didn’t feature a Titanic-themed cake? We ponder the moral dilemma of whether it’s in bad taste to create a cake-version of the sinking steamship if your kid requests one. We also look into what people ate on board the Titanic and speak to a chef who has interpreted some of the Titanic’s first class menu into a fancy high tea experience at Melbourne Museum as part of the Titanic: The Artefact Exhibition.
