The Frog cake is a fondant dessert in the shape of a frog's head, and heritage icon in South Australia. The frog cake was introduced by Balfours in 1922 when tearooms where at their height of popularity in Adelaide, South Australia. It was originally available in a green, but now comes in pink and chocolate varieties. The frog cake has been called "quintessentially South Australian" and is also used in promoting the region.
In 2001, the frog cake was recognised as a South Australian Heritage Icon by the National Trust of Australia.
