Our 4th annual edible book contest was held on Saturday, April 17th, 2010. Participants numbered from about 150, this in addition to our usual Saturday traffic of around 200. Their votes helped choose the "Most Favorite Cake" winning entries (See above). Children enjoyed a couple of cake decorating demos and also decorated their own cupcakes. Special thanks goes out to the creative authors of the entries, and also to Kevin Lane and Kim Bond for sharing their time and talents for the decorating demos. See you next year!
