If You Read It, You Can Bake It

Join us for the Cherrydale Branch Library's mostly annual Edible Book Contest!

Check out some of previous entries for examples and inspiration.

 

What is an edible book?

  • It’s any representation of a book title that is made primarily from edible materials.
  • It can look like a book, refer to a character, be a pun on a title etc.
  • It can be as fancy as a decorated cake or as simple as a bowl of grapes (The grapes of wrath?)
