hi guys i would like to make a cake for nursery staff who have looked after my son who will be leaving to go to 'big' school soon
ive never tried a cake the shape of a book so would like to do this and perhaps add a quotation about children
but im a little stuck on a theme of some kind, something unusual. any ideas?
thought about scrapping the whole book, childrens quotation thing but keep coming back to it
any help would be appreciated

Perhaps a Dr Seuss cake... Oh, the places you'll go!

You could do a book with a fairytale look or one with nursery rhymes on it. Wilton makes a book pan -- you can find it at Michael's/ Hobby Lobby/ Jo-Ann's (use a coupon for any of those) or your local cake store (they might even rent them.)
Look in the galleries. There is an entire album for book cakes. Here are a few more pics for you."

This one has lots of characters on it. Very cute:

Here are a few quotes you might like:

HTH!
There is a Unity Poem by By Ray A. Lingenfelter it talks about teacher and parents working together. It's really nice. I used it last year for the teachers and they loved it.

If you look at my pictures there is a book with kids on 1 side and this poem on the other.
Good Luck.
