Here is a prize-winning cake from the #LINACBakeOff competition. This cake model of a radiation therapy machine was made by Dr Tsien Fua, radiation oncologist at Peter Macallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne. The international bake off was designed to encourage cancer teams to use models to educate patients & families about what to expect in treatment for head & neck cancers. The mask is worn to keep your head still so the radiation hits the rumour precisely & keeps damage to healthy tissue to a minimum.

One of the most enjoyable jobs I ever had was touring pre-schools, kindergarten & infants classes in a show called Whoops! with Brian Joyce as part of Pipi Storm, a theatre-in-education company. This show involved the children in the performance. It was a two-person story-telling show about a girl called Plain Jane who lived on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. One day she fell off the bridge into the boat being rowed by a Turkish boy called Whoopsie. I loved that dress.
