Book Cakes

College of San Mateo Library Director Lorrita Ford asked me if I was familiar with Book Cakes. Although I made a good guess, I hadn't realized that there were books on how to make them, images of great book cakes, and more. I looked up "Book Cakes" and found a few sites that showed me more information on them. Love the idea! Bet they are popular with some book clubs.

Here are some related articles and books:

• "Books Good Enough to Eat."
• "Enchanted Cakes"
• "Childrens Character Cakes"
• Book Cake Images
• Cake Wrecks
  

This could be a fun theme for a fund raiser! Now to do some research and thinking about how to do that this summer. I've heard of Gingerbread Library Fundraisers (Conshohocken, PA), but not book cake contests. This could be a yummy contest and PR opportunity.
