This year's theme is "Once Upon a Time." Local bakers and decorators will be asked to create amazing cakes inspired by children's literature.We hope our participants are inspired by their youthful favorites to create a cake that highlights the humor, creativity, and brillance of children's literature. This could include cakes inspired by a specific children's book or author, cakes reflecting beloved characters or scenes from popular stories,or cakes representing the beauty of readers, books, and libraries.
The Rules and Guidelines, Application, and Registration for bakers and decorators who are interested can be accessed by the link below.
