This might be a good one to check out if you like puns and sugar when they go together!

" Readers: Start your ovens! Bibliophiles, book artists and food lovers will unite to create edible books that are exhibited, photographed, and then consumed! Edible books are made of food and inspired by a book or pun on a book title. This event is free and open to the public, so come out and enjoy these mouthwatering manuscripts, or brave your aprons to create your own succulent storybook.

The festival is free and open to the public. Anyone can enter a creation. All the creations will be exhibited, admired, photographed, documented and then eaten with coffee and milk!

What is the Edible Book Festival?

Firstly, an “edible book” is a dessert, main dish, side dish, or appetizer, that is in-spired by a book. It can look like a book, scroll or tablet, or NOT. It can be inspired by the book title, a scene or a character. The idea is to have fun, and create some thing good to eat, and share.

In 2000, Edible Book Festivals started in many places around the world. During the festival, the edible books are displayed, admired by the public, and photographed. We invite distinguished book people to award the prizes. Then we eat the books, with milk or coffee.

How can you participate?

Come join us on the day to admire the books, and eat.

Enter your edible book creation to win one of these prizes. Instructions below.

Prizes are awarded in each of three age groups:

Grades K-6, Grades 7-12, and Adult:
