This is a tutorial for making a stack of books out of cake. This particular cake was for a wedding! The couple had some fun titles and loved the idea of a stack of three books for their wedding.

Fondant Book Covers

This is the part of the process when things could become tricky. They say the third time's the charm, but for my books it took 5 attempts to be successful. For the book cover you need to take into account the height of your book as well as its length and width. When you look at a real book, you'll notice that the cover overhangs by about 1/4 inch on all sides. Add that to your measurements as well. For my bottom book, my cake measured 12x10x2.75. This means my cover needed to have a height of 12.5 and a width 13 1/4 (this accounts for the height of the book, so remember to add that in). Once you know the size you need to make, you can roll it out. It helps to roll it out on a gridded surface so that you have an idea of when it is large enough.
