The fruits of a sweet collaboration between Meg Ray, from Miette, and the students of 826 Valencia, "A Time to Eat Cake" features a mixture of odes to cake, students memories of cakes, and fantastical cakes straight out of students' imaginations. The project started after Miette provided cupcakes and other sweets for numerous parties at 826 Valencia, and every time they sparked delight in students and adults alike. Meg and the students of 826 Valencia's after-school tutoring program spent a month recalling their favorite cakes and describing them in the pieces that appear in the book. "A Time to Eat Cake" has a great foreword by Meg Ray about the significance of cakes in her life and their role in her memory. This foreword, which Meg wrote after the success of her own bestselling book, sets the tone for a whimsical and sweet collection of stories by the student authors. The book also contains gorgeous illustrations and cover art that are as enticing and playful as the cake "pieces" inside. Released in time for the 2011 holiday season, the book would make a great gift for anyone who loves cake (and who doesn't?) or anyone who loves great student writing (again, who doesn't love that?). Easy for children as young as six to read, the book is also entertaining for adults.
