It's Census month... so we thought we'd do a little counting of our own.

Our highly official research suggests of our 484, 630 residents, there are 324,752 Canberrans celebrating a birthday this August!

If you're one of them—or you're baking for someone who is—pop into Latorta for everything you need to create a show-stopping birthday cake.

Let's make August the sweetest month of the year!

Disclaimer: This statistic was not approved by the Australian Bureau of Statistics... or anyone else, really. We just made it up. But Latorta having THE BEST cake decorating supplies .... well that's definitely real.😉🤣
