Books2Eat 2022 Challenge
The only rule is to make edible art that has something to do with a favorite book! Last year students made their edible art from cakes, cookies, pancakes, ice cream, fruit, whipped cream, marshmallows, pretzels, vegetables and there were even a few “book bentos”. You can work alone, with your siblings or friends.
