After several attempts, she finally invented the first edible spoon.

With the help of here mother Jennifer, 30, and her grandmother, Wanda Gilchrist, 60, she created an edible spoon. The spoon was strong enough to scoop out the cat food from a can but not so strong enough that it cannot be eaten. The ingredients which were used were all types of garlic like garlic salt and canned garlic among others. The cat used to love the taste and smell of garlic.

She won the grand prize for this invention.

Around 200000 submissions were there for Weekly Reader’s contest and one of them was Suzy’s edible pet-food spoon as well. And she was awarded for her idea. The awards she got was $500 saving bond and a trip to Washington D.C for National Inventor’s Expo. She loved the trip to Washington and Inventor Expo, But while plane ride out she got seasickness.
