The Great Cake Contest
Alex loves cake and can’t wait to enter the Great Cake Contest. The problem is that every cake idea he comes up with—from pancakes and carrot cake to Black Forest cake and jelly roll—has already been chosen by one of his friends. With the contest getting closer, Alex starts to wonder what he can possibly bake. The Great Cake Contest is a playful story about creativity, disappointment, and getting help when your own ideas run out. Alex’s family joins him in coming up with something special, leading to a lively contest full of cake and surprises. Parents can ask children what kind of cake they would create for their own baking contest.
