Excellent! Did you color with an airbrush? You're printing is great! I tried books once...only once...looked like c**p...yours are wonderful!

Thanks so much for the comments. These were trickier than I originally thought they would be. They are airbrushed with color and the lettering is yellow and brown past color. The large book is a 1/4 sheet cake and a 1/4 sheet cake cut in half for the two smaller books. I first wrapped a strip of fondant around the three sides for the pages. Second, draped a sheet of fondant for the book cover and used scissors to trip to the correct size.

cont.... Trying to measure and cut before drapeing was a nightmare. I also rolled "snakes" of fondant to shove up underneath the lips of the book to make the edges stand up. I used a knife to get the page effect.
