Thanks for all the tips. I actually have been researching this topic and haven't seen any tutorials here nor on youtube, surprisingly. I am doing a book cake for a colleague that is leaving my office. Unfortunately, the book I am doing is a replica of a "penal law" book which is softcover and the cover is flush with the pages. In other words, no overhang. For some reason, I think this is going to be harder to do. If anyone has any advice, I'd appreciate it.
TIA,
Jackie
