This Monday takes the cake.
Literally.
I planned to start this week out by meeting my friend Ashley at Starbucks. Little did I expect her and her parents to step out of the car and hand me a big white box with a beautiful leather-bound book inside.
An edible book.
Yes, folks, that is a Les Miserables CAKE. I devoured Victor Hugo’s famous work my senior year of high school, and it’s been one of my favorite books ever since, but I never expected to literally be able to EAT it.
Ashley and her mom Angie are amazing cake artisans (you can check out some of their other jaw-dropping creations here). Look at the incredible details!
Doesn’t the icing really look like leather? How cool is that?

And possibly my favorite detail: a big-eyed bookworm creeping around the corner 🙂
It even has my name on the spine! Thank you, Ashley and Angie, for kicking my week off to a great start.
So, did anybody else find a surprise planted in their Monday? Or want to come over for some cake?
