We had another enjoyable afternoon perusing the entries at the Edible Book Festival at Portland Library. The creativity was great again this year and we took photos of most of the fabulous entries. Edible Book Festival 2008We had fun making our own entries last night and I really enjoyed watching the girls work out the details of their projects and develop their own creativity while doing it. “Princess and the Pea” made with sugar cookies, icing, fruit roll-ups, food coloring markers and a single green jellybean. “Swiss Family Robinson” made with Swiss cheese, chocolate cake, icing, sprinkles and jellybeans. “Salty Dog” made with pretzel dough, food coloring markers and lots of salt. As for the edible portion of our creations this year … * G.’s cake tasted the best * L.’s fruit roll-ups made a good topping along with the icing for the cookies but they stuck together too well so we ate chunks rather than individual cookies * My salty dog was — surprise, surprise — too salty.
