About this event
Join us for Eat the Cake, a community-focused cake picnic celebrating creativity, connection, and (of course) cake! This event invites everyone to bring their own homemade cake to share with others. You’ll get to try slices from a range of delicious cakes made by fellow bakers in the community.
Expect tables of stunning homemade cakes, opportunities to connect with other cake lovers, and the chance to discover new flavors and decorating ideas. There will be fun prizes, cake decorating inspiration, and a warm, welcoming vibe. Best of all, a portion of the event proceeds will go directly to a local food charity, supporting those who need it most.
What’s Included:
Entry to the picnic-style event
Access to try slices from the cakes on display
Prizes for best cakes (taste, creativity, and more)
Contribution towards a local food charity
More info to come!
How it works: Each ticket holder brings a homemade cake to showcase and share. Once you arrive and display your cake, there'll be time to mingle and admire the cakes, a warm welcome, and then you’ll be able to taste and enjoy slices of everyone else’s creations. Whether you’re a casual home baker or a cake artist in the making, this event is about community, connection, and celebrating creativity (and a love of cake) together.
Why attend? Eat the Cake is more than just a food event – it’s a light hearted opportunity to come together, share skills, meet new people, and make a positive impact in the community while enjoying something sweet. A portion of the ticket price will be donated to a local food charity.
