Really the cakes were just to look at and vote for this past weekend as the Nashua Public Library held its annual Edible Cake Contest. The requirements are simple, in terms of the rules, cake bakers can use their imagination to create an entirely, edible, literary-based confection.
The edibles were on display in the library on Sunday. Library patrons were invited to vote for their favorites in child and adult categories.There was no sampling; however, slices of a large sheet cake were being doled out to voters needing a sweet treat.
Harry Potter took the cake or rather cookies as the winner in the Children's' category.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar captured the top spot in the Adult category.
There was no word on whether the entrants celebrated afterwards with cake (or cookies).

What a fun idea! May personal favourite is the one in the bottom left of your first photo, the one that says "say Zoop". No idea what book it refers to but it looks fun.
I haven't eaten cake since Christmas.... seeing those beautiful creations fuel the craving for a big fat slice of cake....
I have sent this link to our local library.
How fun! What great creativity and looks so yummy, too. :)

A fun competition for everyone. These creative cake baker and decorators are very clever.
I like the Purple Unicorn but they are all very good. Better than anything I could do!!

That was sure a fun thing to see. I would have to go home and open up a frosting can to taste a couple of scoops.

What a neat idea. Like AC said I will pass this idea along to our library … they do lots of fun things with kids.
