In honor of National Library week we have an annual "book-themed" cake decorating contest.

1. • 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.
