The Schnitzel Theatre

It’s fair to say, you probably won’t have room for popcorn at the Schnitzel Theatre just outside Spotless Stadium. Michael Smith’s love for old movies has led to the creation of a “monster” two-foot schnitzel sandwich called Schnitzenstein. It comes with two sides of chips and is perfect for a family meal before hitting sideshow alley. — The Schnitzel Theatre, Spotless Stadium

The Stables Lounge

The Stables, a new and trendy addition this year, is exactly as the name say, only this one has been permanently reinvented into a chic space that uses the vaulted ceilings to create an open space filled with lounges and leather chair interspersed with high top and community tables. Fairy lights and dark woods with industrial finishes give it a regal look, but its real draw is the unique pop-up vendors such as Burger Head and Balls and The Sydney Royal Beer and Wine Bar. For the men, head just around the corner to Legends Old School Barber Shop where you can enjoy a beard trim and an adult beverage. — The Stables Lounge, Hawkesbury St.

Killer Coffee

It goes without saying (but we will anyway); the show has worn out the best of us. Enter Killer Coffee for a “nitro” pick-me-up. You’re sure to recharge with one of their sinful lattes as each cup has six-times the amount of caffeine as a r`egular cup of coffee. It’s a secret blend of three beans that they roast in small batches, which they sell as whole beans, ground or in capsules, to ensure that each brew is as good as the next. It’s not as ferocious as it sounds though as its flavours is smooth, making it ideal for Espresso Martinis, which they’ll also have on tap. Coffee anyone? — The Stables, Hawkesbury St

Cake Decorating

Instagram posts of lavish desserts fight got “likes” but when it comes to true competition, the veritable Olympics for cake decorators is still at the show. There were 180 entries in cake decorating this year across the board, but it takes some pretty impressive skills to take home a ribbon. The judges are marking them on everything from colour and symmetry to texture and technique. The clever creations themselves range from pop-culture references such as a minion or Yoda to surreal scenes or intricate lace. These will sit behind a case for a few weeks, so best not to eat them however there is plenty of other baked goods, but then that’s whole other lot of competitions. — Arts & Crafts Hall

Amazing, elaborate and decadent are just some words you’ll overhear as people describe the cakes at Koi Dessert Bar. While they’re popular all year round, co-owner Reynold Poernomo, MasterChef also offers nods to nature, including the spring and Easter themed creation, the Golden Hen’s Egg and The Chocolate Tree, a dainty garden that even uses edible flowers from their own garden. Reynold won’t take all the credit though as he explains that his mother, an avid gardener is actually the one behind the creations. As these take nearly four makes to make, there’ll only be about 100 on offer each day, however, there’s no missing out as they’ll keep a study supply of his other artistic treats. — The Stables, Hawkesbury St
