At the end of a long working day, Rockhampton Region Councillor Drew Wickerson loves to swap his councillor badge for a rolling pin and mixing bowl.
Over the past five years the mixmaster has created an impressive array of cakes for various council and community events, from live action cakes blowing smoke for the Singapore Army, to immaculately detailed replica cakes for iconic buildings like the former Morning Bulletin site and Rockhampton Girls Grammar, to a massive display piece of Harry Potter and a sugar inspired cake for Willy Wonka.

Brooke Adams and Hannah Goodwin, senior students at the Rockhampton Girls Grammar School, are preparing to go out into the world and help people.
Neither of them aspire to become a politician; Brooke and Hannah intend to study medicine and dentistry, respectively.
On Tuesday morning, they met with a woman who also left their school, albeit some years ago, with no plans to become a politician.
Today she â Michelle Landry â represents our region in the federal parliament as the Member for Capricornia and Assistant Minister for both Children and Families, and Northern Australia.
Ms Landry visited the school to speak with the Year 11 and 12 students about the rewards and pitfalls of leadership.
