Books good enough to eat! Edible Book Festival is coming to HEPL.
Are you addicted to cake decorating shows such as Cake Wars, The Great British Bake Off, or even Nailed It? Think you’d like to try your hand at sculpting a confectionary masterpiece? Celebrate Edible Book Day by entering the Hamilton East Public Library’s Edible Book Festival Contest!
The festival will be held on Saturday April 27th at the Fishers Library. Participants should fill out an online entry form beforehand and bring their creations in at 12:30pm.
Judging will take place at 1:00pm with a public viewing of the edible creations from 2:00-3:00pm, followed by award presentations! During judging kids will be able to make “edible necklaces” out of various candies. Winners in each category will win a free cookbook!
