7th annual literary cake decorating contest event
TRANSCRIPT
• In Honor of National Library Week, we had our seventh 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 five 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 288 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 8th Annual Literary Cake Decorating Contest. We’re hoping to get even more Literary Cakes to choose from!
