Taste
We bought this off this lovely old lady, who’s been baking for years and has lots of awards to show. There were lots of varieties of old style cakes to choose from. Our pack contained:
- jellycake - just like lamington, except without the chocolates.
- lamington - a very soft cake and one of the best I’ve tasted.
- sultana cake - soft and sweet, just like the old fashioned cakes.
- chocolate slice with sprinkles - not very chocolaty, a bit too sweet.
- date slice - has a very gooey filling, the crumble topping is not buttery enough.
- fruit mix slice - pleasant, but I didn’t enjoy the sweet carrot glaze and sweetened fruit in the mix.

The Penguin Market’s claim to fame is being "The largest undercover Antique, Secondhand & Collectibles market in Tasmania". I don’t know their claim for large, but it’s a pretty way to meander away a morning. We didn’t find the stalls too exciting, but it’s more a country town kinda market than big city markets.
The cakes were lovingly made, with their homemade labels and all.

$3.50 for our 6 pack of little cakes. Not too bad, especially if you are on holidays and want that country feel.
