Our 11th year of participation in the International Edible Books Festival was Saturday, April 4th, 2014. Nearly two dozen delicious and creative entries kept us entertained, amused, and well fed. The puns seem to multiply every year… Thanks to everyone who participated! We can't wait 'till next year!

Many thanks to Maura Rogers for the photography.
