National Punctuation Day to feature baking contest ! !


Bake a coma shaped cake
or bake a cake period. Hyphen meat-loaf?
Alas,its too late for me to gain any success at proper punctuation but help is there for those that seek it !
The National Punctuation Day webpage notes that the day has achieved national recognition and worldwide media attention since former newspaperman Jeff Rubin founded the holiday in 2004, with newspaper coverage from Manila to London and from Seoul to Seattle, in addition to broad radio and TV coverage in the United States—including a short segment on Regis and Kelly in 2008.

1. Entrants must send a recipe and a sample of their cookie, cake, pastry, doughnut, or bread baked in the shape of a punctuation mark to National Punctuation Day, 1517 Buckeye Court, Pinole, CA 94564.
