Iced Vovo

'First registered as a trademark in 1906, Iced VoVo biscuits have become one of Arnott’s most famous biscuits. An Iced VoVo is a lovely biscuit topped with two strips of pink fondant and a strip of strawberry jam, all sprinkled with coconut - a symphony in pink!'

And I think it also makes a fantastic cushion as well, the iconic Arnott's Iced vovo's have been a part of many people's childhoods for over a hundred years.

The reasoning for creating a large Iced Vovo as a cushion was to create iconic items associated with Australian culture in large but realistic forms. My Iced Vovo is made from upholstery fabric, upholstery foam, 3D puff paint white, red cotton, fake pink fur and then all hand sown together to create a usable piece of art.  

Arnott's biscults have been part of Australian diet and culture since 1865. 

'1865, a small bakery opened in Hunter Street, Newcastle, north of Sydney, New South Wales. It supplied bread, pies and biscuits to the local townspeople as well as to the crews of the many ships that docked at the port to load coal. From these humble beginnings rose a company whose name is now synonymous with Australia's favourite biscuits and snacks.
Today, Arnott's employs thousands of people and supplies biscuits to more than 40 countries around the world. Millions of Australians have grown up on Arnott's and for them, Arnott's is more than a food company, it's a piece of Australia's history.'
