Edible Poe Festival

Tuesday, October 16th in the Student Center Rotunda

The rules were simple-- all entries needed to be edible and related to Edgar Allan Poe. The competition was stiff with eighteen entries representing several well-known works by Poe including "The Black Cat," "The Raven," "The Oval Portrait," and the "The Purloined Letter." 

Dozens of people attended the festival and voted for their favorite club, department, and individual entries. Listed below are their top picks.
