About this word search

Fairy floss is the Australian name for spun sugar on a stick, a fixture at every show and school fete. Freckles are chocolate buttons topped with hundreds and thousands, and the Lamington is a square of sponge rolled in chocolate and coconut. Pavlova is claimed by both Australia and New Zealand, an argument that has never quite been settled.

With words free to point in any of eight ways, two pairs need care: Fairy floss and Fairy bread share a first word, and Gingerbread and Shortbread share an ending. Liquorice holds the only Q on the list, a quick way in.

For a cooking club, choose one treat from the list each week and bake it together.
