CAKE PICNIC ™ was born out of a simple desire to eat a lot of cake. And be surrounded by friends. In my earliest daydreams of this event, it was a small and intimate picnic of maybe 15 new friends forming a circle at Golden Gate Park. Once we’ve formed our circle, we would take turns introducing ourselves and what cake we brought to the picnic. I had no idea this would draw such a crowd and that everyone would share my dream so passionately. For the love of cake, we must.
CAKE PICNIC is a gathering for the love of cake. It celebrates cake in all of its forms — chiffon cakes, upside down cakes, Princess cakes, cake loaves, cupcakes, Russian honey cakes, meringue cakes, jello cakes, trifles, multi-tiered cakes, sponge cakes, butter cakes, and more. CAKE PICNIC brings together communities and friends together for the sole purpose of breaking cake together and enjoying the following butter and sugar highs. To be surrounded by as many cakes as there are humans is definitely something special, right? It is a moment in time where we come together for something truly sweet. It is a feast for the ages and you just have to be there.
