no...not mine... i thought it was michelle bommaritos but after checking her site...its just similar.
maybe you could ask your questions and cc may be able to help.
I wanted to ask permission to make a similar cake. My bride wants the same colors but with her book titles. Just wanted to be polite and ask.
Also, need guidance for doing this cake.
1. Do you completely wrap each cake/book with fondant or is just the top and spine one piece of fondant with the bottom edges that show just pieces placed around the bottom edges? (hope that made since.)
2. How to stack them: Just like a round or square cake-boards cut to the shape and doweled but offcenter?
any other suggestions or how-to's would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Wow! I'd like to know how they did that too! I know that Michelle Bommarito does cakes like that -- the book cake is one of her signatures. You can try writing her and asking. Hope that helps some!
That looks like a Michelle Bommarito cake - she rocks!

Mcook, you are right. You cover the front and spine of book with one piece of fondant and then cut fondant strips to place along the bottom of the cake to look like the back cover.
i think i remember a book stack like that here. try looking under gaduation cakes..........
I found this post about doing book cakes, maybe the fine people listed on there can help you, they helped with my first 2 book cakes.
I hope this is helpfull.
