This iconic children's birthday cake was inspired by the character, Dolly, in one of Charles Dickens' novels. A special baking pan, in the shape of her dress, is needed for this cake. Australian Women's Weekly Dolly Varden Cake | Women's Weekly Food (womensweeklyfood.com.au)
Baking pans safety notes
Burns and scalding
When heating food on in the oven, be aware of the danger of burns or scalds, which can be caused by contact with hot foods or hot pans or utensils.
Safety tips
Always use oven mitts when removing baking dishes or trays from ovens or microwaves.
Never use a damp tea towel to remove trays from the oven – the wet cloth will heat up much faster than a dry one and can burn your hands.
Don't wear loose-fitting clothing around open flames.
Kitchen fires
Safety tips
Don't leave cooking food unattended – and make sure you turn off all cooking appliances after using them.
Make sure you have a fire extinguisher and fire blanket in your kitchen. Never use water to put out a kitchen fire.
Don't keep flammable items such as tea towels near the stove or other hot appliances.
Never put items that aren't microwave safe in the microwave. This applies especially to items that contain metal, as they can quickly spark and cause fires.
