Edible Book Title:
Edible Book Artist(s):

Create and bring a piece of edible art related to books: it can pun on a title, refer to a scene or character, look like a book (or paper, scroll etc), or just have something to do with books. Whatever the inspiration - it must be edible. 

Every type of book---children's classics, detective novels, biographies, fiction and non, poetry, short stories ---will be sculpted from a smörgåsbord of foodstuffs. Imagine The Brothers Karamatzah, S'more and Peace, Alice in Wonderbread, The Bun Also Rises, Goodnight Moon Pie, Curd Vonnegut... and so many more brainy, beautiful, silly, clever and tasty transubstantiations of books we love into treats we eat! 

Bringing a book? come around 11:00.
Not bringing a book? Come at NOON - no later than 1:00 -  or you won't have time to see them! 
If you are interpreting a particular book, we suggest you bring a copy of it to display alongside your masterpiece (not required).
