To some, the phrase "edible books" may seem like an oxymoron.  It refers to the creation of a cake which resembles, or depicts events from, a favorite book.

Interested in giving it a try? You can find plenty of inspiration online.  (Be sure to check the copyright status of images before using them).

Those with limited travel funds may want to consider the online International Edible Books Festival. This year's contest was held in March, but there is plenty of time to practice for next year.

In the meantime, what book do YOU think would make the perfect cake? Let us know in the comments below!
