Here's a photo of Maya's and my edible book. This view shows the three Big Hogs looking at the Forest Hog (center, with chocolate jimmy hairs on his back). The next view shows the broccoli and marzipan trees to better advantage, and also the quote that is pressed into the other side of the cake.
This view shows the edible book from the other direction, showing the back view of the hogs and facing the forest hog. You can also see the acorns and apples that the forest hog eats. The grass is edible Easter grass. I never knew such a thing existed! In the background you can see a little bit of other books. Check out www.AshevilleBookworks.com for a full report on the festival!
You and Maya did an excellent job! I have never heard of edible books before but how can you go wrong combining books and cake! Looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeletesounds like such a fun festival! i work at a school and would love to do this for a family literacy night activity. there is no end to what fun you can have with books!!!
ReplyDeleteEdible Book Festival is great for a school project! Two schools, one elementary and one middle school, entered work in our festival. It would be perfect for a family literacy project. Google Edible Book Festival and you can find out lots about it-- it is an international festival held every year on April Fools' Day.
ReplyDeleteOMG! too cute and too darn funny! thanks for sharing the pics.
ReplyDeletei've had a grand time looking through your blog, gwen. and you're at asheville bookworks, where my friend frank teaches sometimes. a good, small world.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words! Frank is a friend of mine too! In fact, we're making paper together in a couple of weeks out of the inner fiber of some willow branches. DO you ever come to Asheville?
ReplyDeleteAnd Jane- happy to post pictures, and thanks for asking for them! I tend to forget to post them!
