Every year, we here at Yale University Press have a bakeoff contest at our holiday party.  Categories change from year to year but the one constant is a prize for the Best Book Based on a YUP title.

Some highlights in the past have included a cake shaped like an electric guitar, another in the shape of New England with state-specific toppings on each state…people definitely get into it.

So what better to take home the Book Based prize for the holiday party this year other than a turntable cake based on Adam Bradley and Andrew DuBois‘s Anthology of Rap.  Pretty sweet.
