The big kewpie doll was created in cake form on the weekend for the annual Post and Ante Natal Depression Support and Information (PANDSI) Cake Off.
More than 45 bakers submitted cakes for the fundraiser under the theme 'Aussie Big Things' - including edible versions of Ned Kelly (from Glenrowan, VIC), the Big Merino (from Goulburn) and the Big Rocking Horse (from Gumeracha, SA).
The kewpie doll was the creation of local baker Gabrielle Hardy and was entirely edible, from her tulle skirt to her Mars Bar slice head and chocolate mudcake body.
"I love that she's a local icon and I made the cake because I know that it can be challenging becoming a new parent," Gabrielle said.
"The services that PANDSI provides to the community can make a huge difference to local families."
Gabrielle's 'live auction' kewpie doll cake went under the hammer of radio personality Tim Shaw and raised $500 - the second highest cake amount of the day. The highest was Sally Bellchamber's Big Strawberry cake.
The PANDSI Cake Off raised more than $25,000 te reduce waiting times for people accessing mental health and other free services available.
