For the 2011 Edible Book Contest at my local university library, I chose to do a Hunger Games cake, titled The Cake That Was On Fire. It was the first time I’d done a cake using fondant and the cake was so huge that my husband had to help me lift the giant slab of black fondant on top.
I made a fondant mockingjay pin that was painted with edible gold glaze once dried. As a finishing touch, I added some fondant nightlock berries.
The cake tied for first in the category “Most Book-Like” and placed second in the People’s Choice category.
First place went to The Monster Book of Monsters cake. See a step by step photo process of this Hunger Games cake here.

The berries are a clever touch.
I am a Harry Potter fan, but i still think your cake should have won… perhaps the judges hadn’t read the Hunger Games at all (Blasphemy!) Great cake! Might try to recreate it for my best friend’s birthday!
