Happy National Library Week everyone! To celebrate, the Preservation Dept. at my workplace held the 2nd Annual “Edible Book Contest.” The rules were simple:
“Submit an edible creation of an information storage medium (e.g. book, CD, video tape, etc.) or even your favorite character from a particular text. And the creation must be completely edible.”
There was one very geeky entry that I was intrigued with… My friend Carla R. brought down a box of cupcakes with white frosting on them. One was decorated with a strawberry, but the rest were just plain.
I found out later that they were WikiCupcakes!
What is a Wiki?
A wiki is software that allows registered users or anyone to collaboratively create, edit, link, and organize the content of a website, usually for reference material. -WikiPedia
So… what are WikiCupcakes? They’re cupcakes that a group of users can collaboratively decorate! How clever is that? She brought two cans of frosting, and users got to decorate the cupcakes, and put their names down on a piece of paper as they did. You know, they’re Wiki References! Too clever!
The Judges (2 Librarians and a Cataloger) gave Carla 1st place for Originality! Congrats Carla!
