2nd annual literary cake decorating contest event 2012 - Framingham State University

3
In Honor of National Library Week, we thought it would be fun to have a “Book-themed” cake decorating contest. All you had to do is 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. We had Four cakes entered into the contest We allowed anyone coming through the library to judge the cakes, and they would put a token in the box of the cake they liked the best. Judging ran from 9:30am-12:30pm. We had about 320 people participate in the voting/judging of the cakes. The winners are listed below At 1pm we announced the winners and 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 3 rd Annual Literary Cake Decorating Contest. We’re hoping to get even more Literary Cakes to choose from each year!
