Devouring books… what!?

I guess a book made out of cake might give new meaning to “my dog ate my library book.” But in this case, it could actually be true! On Saturday, April 5, Bowie Library hosted an “Edible Books Bake-Off.” Pretty cool, huh? Contestants had to create a cake representing a book. There  were three categories: Teen, Adult and Family and the cakes were judged by professionals. Prizes were awarded in each of the categories - and, there were over 150 people who came to see the confectionary creations!

So, start preparing now for next year, all you Betty Crocker-wannabes. I know there is some serious talent out there. And when you’re on “Top Chef,” you can say you got your start at the library…
