Stacked Book Baby Shower Cake

An old coworker of mine asked me to make a cake for her friend's baby shower.  She had a whole list of ideas and themes for the cake.  The shower was a bring-a-book party but she also wanted to incorporate the Father-to-be's love of fishing and Alaska.  How the heck do all these come together and oh by the way also girly?  Well, I was stumped but she had a brilliant idea.  A stack of books cake with Alaskan/fishy titles like The Salmon Princess, Tough Girl Alaska and Big Fish Little Fish.  All in pink of course.  Cute idea right?  Sure, then I just had to figure out how to do it.  It was very simple in my head, and really it is, but sometimes you just have one of those cakes where nothing goes smoothly and you find your self yelling profanities at your boyfriend at one o'clock in the morning.  Not to worry, he's used to it and barley phases him.  The cake however turned out great, and they were thrilled with it.
