18 Aussie Cake Stall Snacks Ranked From "Blegh" To "Take My $2 Right Now!"

Chocolate crackles are better than honey joys and that's a FACT.

18. Toffee

instagram.com

Isha: Toffee ALWAYS did me dirty. They were deceptively cheap – usually a measly 20 cents – but then you were stuck with that gloopy, sugary mess for the rest of lunch. Not a fan. 2/10

Sohan: These always smelled so sweet! They really sucked you in...only to get horridly stuck in your teeth for hours. Never worth it. 1/10

Cake stall ranking: 1.5/10

17. Milk Arrowroot biscuits

instagram.com

Isha: These were always left over at the end of a cake stall...and for good reason. 2/10

Sohan: I feel like they just chucked together a bunch of FuN KiDs LoLLiEs and other things to make a FuN sNaCk. It doesn't work. 2/10

Cake stall ranking: 2/10

16. Honey joys

instagram.com

Isha: Honey joys never quite did it for me. Sure, they were delicious, but if I only had $2 to spend at the cake stall, it would go towards something a bit more worth it. 5/10

Sohan: Honestly? A trash version of chocolate crackles. Never reached for them, don't care. 2/10

Cake stall ranking: 3.5/10

15. Coconut ice

instagram.com

Isha: To be entirely honest, I've never tried one of these before. I'm not a huuuge fan of coconut, so that probably explains it, but I do appreciate how cute they look. 1/10

Sohan: I love me some coconut. This was one of those snacks that was highly underrated – you never reached for it, but it was oh so good and oh so tasty. Mmmmm. 7/10

Cake stall ranking: 4/10

14. Chocolate fudge

instagram.com

Isha: Fudge is great and all but it was always a sickly sweet commitment that I never wanted to make. 4/10

Sohan: Aussie snacks are usually so creative and colourful, so I feel like this one falls short. Still gets points for being tasty AF though. 5/10

Total: 4.5/10

13. Cupcakes

instagram.com

Isha: These were cute, especially when the little Easter eggs were plopped on top. But in terms of taste, they were fine. Nothing too exciting, you know? 5/10

Sohan: Hit and miss for me. Sometimes they were perfectly baked with delicious icing, sometimes they were miserably dry. 5/10

Cake stall ranking: 5/10

12. Frog in a pond

instagram.com

Isha: An Aussie classic! Who doesn't love some jelly with a Freddo frog plopped on top?! 6.5/10

Sohan: Going to be honest here – I have never eaten these. While I love how pretty they look, I just don't see how jelly and chocolate goes together? Sounds VERY Turkish Delight to me. Not interested. 4/10

Cake stall ranking: 5.25/10

11. Rocky road

instagram.com

Isha: I feel like some people go crazy over Rocky Road and I am just not one of them. Instead it just makes my teeth hurt. 6/10

Sohan: Rocky road is overrated as hell. Like, it's fine, it looks chunky and cool, but eating it was always a bit of a let down. 5/10

Cake stall ranking: 5.5/10

10. Lolly bags

instagram.com

Isha: Oh yum, these were good. You could chomp some at lunch and have plenty leftover for after school too. 7/10

Sohan: A little bag of surprises! I'm not much of a lolly person but these were always fun. 5/10

Cake stall ranking: 6/10

9. Finger buns

instagram.com

Isha: These were hit and miss for me, especially if you ended up with one that tasted like it had been sitting outside for a few hundred years. But if you got a freshly-made finger bun, oh boy, that was good. 6/10

Sohan: Coconut over sprinkles any day. The icing-to-bread ratio was rarely perfect for me, but these were always such a welcome treat. Doesn't beat fairy bread though. 7.5/10

Cake stall ranking: 6.75/10

8. Lamingtons

instagram.com

Isha: Lamington are part of a special group of foods that can be eaten anytime, anywhere. Feeling sad? Eat a lamington. Feeling happy? Eat a lamginton. Feeling angory? EAT A LAMINGTON. Bonus points if they have a little bit of jam in the middle. 8/10

Sohan: It's like cake on steroids. Although when it's stale and dry, it's not a good time. Still a classic that I enjoy to this day. 6/10

Cake stall ranking: 7/10

7. Tim Tams

instagram.com

Isha: Look, we know that Tim Tams are bloody delicious. But as a cake stall snack, they were the cheap option if you didn't have the coin to splash out on the more indulgent snacks. 5/10

Sohan: Tim Tams were that one cake stall snack that was SO good it transferred into adult life snacks. Could still eat a whole packet for dinner. 10/10

Cake stall ranking: 7.5/10

6. Chocolate spiders

instagram.com

Isha: Oh damn, these were the shit. They were the perfect mixture of chocolate and peanut butter, and now I'm badly craving one. 9.5/10

Sohan: What are these? I've never seen them before...but they look WAY better than Reese's Pieces. Would smash. 6/10

Cake stall ranking: 7.75/10

5. Woolies mud cake

instagram.com

Isha: Did you even attend a cake stall if you didn't get a slice of Woolies mud cake? 8/10

Sohan: How do they always get this damn cake so perfectly moist?! I swear this is the ONLY chocolate cake I actually enjoy. 8.5/10

Cake stall ranking: 8.25/10

4. Fairy bread

instagram.com

Isha: A solid favourite. It’s cheap, delish and hits the spot every time. 7/10

Sohan: Fairy bread doesn't even need words to describe how simply incredible it is. 10/10

Cake stall ranking: 8.5/10

3. Brownies

instagram.com

Isha: HELL YES! Brownies were and continue to be top tier cake stall snacks. 10/10

Cake stall ranking: 9/10

2. Chocolate crackles

1. Caramel slice

instagram.com

Isha: The holy grail of Aussie cake stall foods and the main reason why I made myself run from my classroom to the cake stall once the bell for lunch rang. 11/10

Sohan: This shit is SO good. You can't eat too much or you'll be overwhelmed with how delicious it is and feel sick after. Was always worth it though. 10/10

Cake stall ranking: 10.5/10
