Is there anything lamingtons can't do?

We wonder if Lord Lamington would be loving how far his beloved slice has come?

What's Australian, over 115 year's old and created by ? The lamington, that's what! 

Enter the social rabbit hole.

Whilst perusing all of those incredible on Instagram we fell hard and fast. It was deliciously addictive, all-round intriguing and attention grabbing especially when the good ol' lamington was front and centre. In case you ever doubted , we're here to steer you beyond the slice and prove that this Aussie classic can still turn a few heads.

1. Great balls of coulis

, you sure know how to use deep-fried ice-cream to get you out of a jam.

2. Wafflin' on and on and on... and on...

This sweet stack is bursting at the seams (literally!) and we have Sydney cafe, Paper Boy to thank for allowing the the lamington to talk the talk alongside the a soft nougat parfait.

3. While we're still riding that burger bun craze...

The bacon burger and jammy slice have made a pact to take on the Melbourne streets together thanks to Boomas BBQ. So are you game enough to cross over to the savoury side with your lamington? And would you want to?

4. Get 'em while they're hawt!

Melbourne's Prospect Coffee is plating up one hot-cake. White chocolate crumble, strawberry coulis, fresh berries, vanilla mascarpone & toasted almonds - it's time to get that pink party started.

5. Peanut butter, jelly time

Flour Drum in Newtown, we have you to thank for spamming us with your lovely lamington cakey creations. PB&J is really hitting the spot, as is your matcha and strawberry partners in crime.

6. So French so toast

You had us at liquid chocolate ganache... and it almost looks to pretty to eat... almost.

7. Size matters

Look at that beauty. At this rate a lsmington house isn't far off? #2018foodgoals

8. Tella-s what you got there?

Even Nutella doesn't want to miss out meeting a star. And of course, a doughnut had to be involved somewhere.

9. Shaken and stirred

We're all for dessert drinks - especially when there's a bit of 007 suave coming through.

10. Panookie?

Cookie in a pan! A pan-baked choc chip cookie with house-made crushed lamington pieces, jam, ice-cream, chantilly cream, fairy floss - your inner child just kicked its heels together.

11. Can't decide on which Aussie classic you love?

Then have them all. And in this case, its in the freakshake realm - which stills seem to be floating around.

12. And it was all marshmallow

Wagon Wheel, I'd be worried about your relationship status, it looks like marshmallow is crushing hard on lamington. Vanilla berry marshmallow, coated in dark (or white) choc and rolled in coconut - what a win for hot chocolate!

13. Bowled over

This bowl taps into those summer vibes and no, its not leaving those loveable lamington flavours behind.
