Today's Sweets are in honor of National Children's Book Week. They're also for all of us out there who like to complain when a movie ruins the book. ;)
Harry Potter:
Submitted by Dara W., made by Karen's Specialty CakesLord of the Rings: (not exactly a kid's book, but who among us didn't read it in school?)
Not sure if this next one is supposed to be a specific title, but there are several Tinkerbell/Pixie Hollow books out now, in addition to the classic
Peter Pan:
Made by Annie at Annie's Art Book.That's hand-painted! And the rope bookmark is darling.
You know we have to have at least one Dr. Seuss title here:
I am so impressed by those circle stripes. They're not fondant; they're a combination of royal and run-in icing. Cool, huh?
Here's a test: can you name this classic book icon?
Sub'd by Sarah E., baker unknown Did you guess?
It's The Giving Tree! Love it.

Sub'd by Heidi E., made by Say it with CakeBonus trivia: Did you know
The Neverending Story was originally written in German? It wasn't translated into English until 1983, and the movie was then released in '84. As a kid I didn't realize there even
was a book - I discovered and read it sometime in my twenties. (The movie follows the original story
almost exactly - a nice surprise!)
