• In Honor of National Library Week, we had our fifth annual “Book-themed” cake decorating contest. All you had to do was bake a cake and decorate it to represent a scene or character from a favorite book, be it a beloved children’s book or your favorite adult book.

• This year we had three cakes entered into the contest

• Anyone that came through the library judged the cakes, by putting a token in the box of the cake they find to be the best. Judging ran from 9:00am-12:00pm.

• We had 269 patrons participate in the voting/judging of the cakes.

• Winners were announced, and we began cutting into these beautiful creations and shared them with anyone that came into the café.

• It was a very successful event, and I think all who participated had a good time.

• Please consider participating next year for our 6th Annual Literary Cake Decorating Contest. We’re hoping to get even more Literary Cakes to choose from!
