Everyone can participate: the young, the old, the professional and non-professional, residents and non-residents, and even groups.
Entries must be book-related. Examples of this can be found in our slideshows of past events (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) and also online at the National Edible Book Contest homepage.
Entries can be made out of anything, as long as it is edible.
Entries must be family-friendly.

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!
