The Australia Day ‘Koala Cupcake’ Woolies/Coles hack you NEED to know about!

It. Is. SO. Easy. - by Nikki Black
  • 24 Jan 2019

Need to take a plate to an Australia Day party tomorrow but are running out of time fast? Well we have just the thing for you!

The clever home bakers at the Woolies/Coles Mudcake Hacks Facebook have come up with the clever idea of turning pre-made chocolate mud cupcakes into these adorable koala treats. 

The Australia Day ‘Koala Cupcake’ Woolies/Coles hack you NEED to know about!

That’s right, using the $3.50 Choc Mud Cupcakes - available at both Coles and Woolworths - and an array of sweets and decorating items from the cake and lollies aisles, they’re so easy to make. 

Home baker Bianca shared her take on the Koala cupcakes to the Facebook group a couple of weeks ago, sharing all the supermarket products you need for the Australia Day treats.

Starting with a mud cake, Bianca then covered it with grey-coloured icing, shredded coconut and then used caramel-coated sultanas for the nose, marshmallows for the ears and finished them off with a pair of edible eyes!

Bianca wrote: ‘With Australia day coming up I just wanted to share another easy peasy cupcake hack 🐨🐨🐨’

Fellow member Kate then posted her take on treat, revealing: ‘Koala Mini mud cake hack for Australia Day “bring a plate” at work. So quick and easy. 

‘Used 1 drop black gel to 1 tub Betty Crocker to get this shade of grey. So quick and easy - and no-one noticed the flags are all printed back to front until I pointed it out 🙄😆🇦🇺’
