Paula's Good Bye Children's Book Cake

Our dear Children's Librarian, Paula, was recently promoted to another library in our system.  Our library was so sad to see her go. She does amazing storytimes for children and the community has really loved her services.  I learned a lot from her as well. 
 
In order to honor all that she has done, the staff put together a nice little going away party.  I made the cake.  I decided to make a cake appropriate for a Children's Librarian.  I had many children's book covers printed on edible image paper and molded some famous children's books characters out of fondant to give the cake more life. I included books and characters from If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, The Giving Tree, Eloise, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Cat in the Hat, and Rainbow Fish. 
 
She really enjoyed her cake and I was happy to do something nice before she left our library. 
 
Thanks for everything Paula and Congratuations!!
