The Tale of Fairy Bread
Story updated
Fairy bread, buttered white bread covered in rainbow sprinkles, is a beloved fixture of Australian children's birthday parties, though its exact origin isn't well documented. The tradition appears to date back at least to the early-to-mid 20th century, passed down informally rather than through any recorded invention.
