1414) Kiwi Cakes & Bakes, New Zealand: A set of 15 stamps of $1.40 each, issued by New Zealand Post featuring classic baked treats, popular in New Zealand: Date of Stamp set issue: 01.07.2020:
This Stamp issue by New Zealand Post celebrates classic baked treats - found in the little local cake shop or made at home. Each Stamp features a different item, presented as a work of art in the bakery window. This Stamp issue represents some local or regional favourites, some recipes from abroad and others that were locally "invented". The best recipes have been passed down from generation to generation or from friend to friend.
The baking tradition in Aotearoa, New Zealand is still very much alive and well & this Stamp issue is quite a treat in itself.
The individual stamps:
$1.40 Anzac Biscuits:
During World War I, women posted parcels of biscuits to men serving overseas and the acronym ANZAC was given to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps in 1914.
The crisp, golden oatmeal biscuits acquired their name when they appeared as ANZAC Crispies in the 1919 edition of the St. Andrew's Cookery Book. ANZAC biscuits are still popular in both the countries.
$1.40 Pavlova:
Ownership of the original Pavlova has long been contested in the Antipodes. Culinary researcher Helen Leach discovered a recipe for a meringue "Pavlova Cake" in the 1933 Rangiora Mother's Union Cookery Book of Tried and Tested Recipes, sent in by Laurina Stevens, a few years after the visit of Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, but two years before the first recipe for a meringue Pavlova appeared in Australia.
$1.40 Churchill Slice:
This baked, two-layered chocolate slice with a coconut filling can be found in mid-20th Century New Zealand recipe books.
$1.40 Cheese Rolls:
Cheese Rolls are a Southern speciality. Recipes vary, but generally to make them spread slices of crust-less white bread with a mixture of thick onion soup from a packet and grated cheese, then roll them up and bake briefly to melt the cheese and crisp the bread.
$1.40 Lolly Cake:
This children's party favourite appeared in the 1970s. A mixture of crushed malt biscuits, sweetened condensed milk and melted butter with chopped marshmallow lollies is formed into a cylinder, rolled in coconut, chilled and then sliced.
$1.40 Neenish Tarts:
Neenish Tarts were known as "Nienich" Tarts in Australia. Small baked cases filled with lemon-flavoured mock cream and distinctively iced - one half chocolate and the other vanilla - are a graphic stand-out on any afternoon tea table.
$1.40 Lamingtons:
Australian in origin, lamingtons' first appearance seems to be in Queensland Country Life in 12/1900, although similar small cakes iced and rolled in coconut are found in earlier cookbooks. They became a favourite in New Zealand after an initial sighting in Dunedin's Otago Witness in 03/1902.
$1.40 Cheese Scones:
Scones are the perfect quick bread made possible by the invention of baking powder in the 1850s, and cheese scones are always near the top of any list of favourites.
$1.40 Custard Squares:
Custard Squares comprise two crisp sheets of flaky pastry with a significant layer of rich vanilla custard in between. The top is iced and either sprinkled with desiccated coconut or decorated with lines of feather icing.
$1.40 Chocolate Crackles:
Cornflakes and rice bubbles were available in New Zealand from the late 1920s and were quickly adopted for biscuits and slices and even meringues. Involving no baking at all, Chocolate Crackles are a children's party favourite.
$1.40 Ginger Biscuits:
New Zealand seems to have a particular obsession with ginger in baking. Community cookery books abound with recipes for Ginger Biscuits or Gingersnaps, Ginger Crunch, Ginger Kisses, Ginger Gems, Ginger Puddings, Pear Ginger and home-made ginger beer.
$1.40 Melting Moments:
These are small, round, buttery biscuits, decorated with indentations made with the tines of a fork and sandwiched in pairs with butter icing. Related to Scottish shortbread, they have a more melting texture since they are lade with icing sugar and corn-flour.
$1.40 Louise Cake:
In New Zealand, home baking , desiccated coconut has historically provided an economical substitute for the ground almonds used in many European recipes, since coconuts are grown throughout the Pacific. It is included in the meringue topping over the jam and biscuit base of Louise Cake.
$1.40 Afghans:
Afghans, like Chocolate Crackles, involve using commercially made breakfast cereals. Afghans are small, crisp chocolate cakes iced with chocolate icing and topped with a half walnut. The source of the name remains a mystery, although it is believed that returned soldiers saw a likeness to the hats worn by Afghan camel drivers in Egypt.
$1.40 Banana Cake:
In New Zealand, countless over-ripe bananas are rescued by their inclusion in moreish cakes, loaves and muffins. Banana Cake filled with sliced babanas and whipped cream and iced with thin lemon icing is quite the favourite.

ReplyDelete"What a lovely unusual idea for stamps...thanx Rajeev 🙂 !"
This stamp issue was a bit different Mitaji. A couple of years ago India Post had brought out a set of 24 stamps on popular dishes all over India.
DeleteThe baking tradition in Aotearoa, New Zealand is still very much alive and well & this Stamp issue is quite a treat in itself.
