What am I reading, er, eating on tattoo Tuesday?
April 8, 2014
Our lovely, local, independent bookstore sponsors an Edible Book Fair every April. Everyone is invited to submit a totally edible interpretation of a book. The entries are displayed, judged, and eaten. The set up and the voting takes a couple of hours. You can’t imagine how quickly the displays are devoured!
The book I chose was The Watermelon Seed by Greg Pizzoli which is the Recipient of the 2014 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award for the most distinguished beginning reader book.
I humbly announce that our entry (above) consisting of a fondant-covered red velvet cake watermelon with watermelon slice-shaped sugar cookies won the award for Most Appetizing. The prizes in the contest are, not a surprise, books! It is a lot of fun to see what people – kids and adults – come up with.
Edible Book Festivals have become a global event, read more here.
Tuesday would not be complete without tattoos:

Good on ya! That layout looks delicious.
I actually did not get a chance to taste the cake – the the cookies were yummy. Thanks!
