The Edible Book Festival is an international celebration of books, food, and bad puns held on or around April Fools’ Day each year. This year, it will be part of the Library’s 1st Annual Baker Faire at the Main Library at Goodwood on Sunday, April 12! Participants are invited to choose a book and create an edible representation of its title or a wordplay on its title that will amuse, amaze, or, yes, even disgust onlookers and fellow participants. From 2-4 p.m., patrons can vote for their favorites in categories such as Best in Show, Wittiest Wordplay, Least Appetizing and more! Winners will be announced at 4:30 p.m. and prizes will be awarded!


To submit an entry, just bring your punny, edible creation to the Library on Sunday, April 12 between 1 and 2 p.m. to be displayed! One submission per person. Please bring pre-assembled and ready to display.

Pictured are a few of our 2025 winners. Can you “beet” them? Come on, “cake” a chance! Give us something to “taco” ‘bout! “Gouda” luck!
