Baker's Dozen just got a litte more festive!

Baker's Dozen, our annual event celebrating Idaho authors, is fast approaching. We will again have 13 amazing local authors signing in our store, and here is this year's auspicious group:

Kim Barnes, Brady Udall, Mitch Wieland, Mark Lisk, Leslie Patricelli, Stan Steiner, Gloria Skurzynski, EJ Pettinger, Steve Willhite, Aaron Patterson, Ken McConnell, and James Mace.

We are adding something new and exciting this year. We will be hosting a silent auction, all proceeds going to The Learning Lab. They are an organization dedicated to enhancing the literacy skills of under-educated families and adults in our community.

The item being auctioned will be a designer cake created by local business owner Ruth Howard. Called the "Boise Cake Ace," Ruth is the founder of Cakewalk Custom Cakes, and her work is both stunning and delicious.

(Yeah, that over there to the right is a cake. Amazing! http://boisecakewalk.com/)

So if 13 authors in one place isn't enough to get you down here, then stop in to see what the master chef is going to whip up for us. Don't forget to make a bid to support a good cause.
