Writers seem to have a thing for cake. Chocolate cake, miniature jelly roll cake, and chocolate rum cake were some of the assorted desserts to be found at Saskatchewan Book Awards Shortlist Brunch. It was held in the elegant ballroom of the stately Hotel Saskatchewan . The readers today were Sandra Birdsell, Maggie Siggins, Kathleen Wall, and John Chaput. They were wonderful, amusing and enjoyable. (The rest of the food was great too!)
