My wife and I are Australians living in Canada and we're about to have our first child, and we were ready to move heaven and earth to find a copy of this book so their birthday parties can be special.

I remember my mother made me the number 8 race track at 0:11 on my 8th birthday until my father accidentally put his heavy Kodak camera ontop of the cake at the park

I think we still have a copy kicking around

My mum refused to make any of the cakes except the number cakes.
