Three Book Themed Cakes – Miss Write

This is an old, old photo. My baking and decorating skills have been much improved, but this is still great book/cake blog fodder, so indulge me!

​During 2010-12 I chaired a writing group in Towcester, Northants, and became really involved with all things books in the town library, where we would meet each month. World Book Night came along, and I baked for the event.

​Can you guess which books these are based on? Probably not, haha, they’re not very well done with hindsight, but hey, it was a lot of fun. Answers below this photo, if you’re interested…. 

​FYI – World Book Night is on 23rd April – get involved!

Answers: The ugly, blobby cupcakes are based on the idea of Small Island – Andrea Levy. The cake with ‘Room’ written on it is about, you guessed it, the fab novel Room by ​Emma Donoghue. My piping skills have improved somewhat since then!

​Cake amateur-ness aside, both books are a great read, in my top 10, I think. I’d definitely recommend them if you haven’t already had the pleasure.

​If you want to see some of the more impressive and professional cakes I now make, take a look at my company website: 280 Bakes.
