What is an Edible Book Festival?

On the first of April each year cities around the world participate in the International Edible Book Festival.  Festivals are held in many countries including Brazil, Germany, Japan, and Russia.  Entries are displayed in edible form, often using wit such as 20,000 Leeks Under the Sea, Spamlet, Don Quicheote, Booklava, and Frank and Stein.  Edible books may include anything from a scene or character from a book, book covers, or book structures.  As long as the entry is made from food items, there is no limit!
