I made this cake as a donation for the local literacy lab that teaches adults to read. A bookstore is having a reception and book signing for 12 Idaho authors and will have a silent auction for the cake. I used one of each of the authors' books on the cake. WOW, was this cake a lot of work, but I'm very pleased with the way it turned out, and it's for a great cause. I covered the cakes with fondant, then added the gumpaste book spines. The titles, etc. are either royal icing or hand painted food color. The top book covers are cardboard covered with fondant.
