The Pacific Northwest is getting its very first CAKE PICNIC and we're kicking it off in Bellevue on July 18 to celebrate Berry Week!

After 2 years on tour and seeing almost 14,000 cakes in real life, I am so excited to bring this moment to the PNW for the very first time. And what better time than Berry Week when the region's most stunning, jewel-toned produce is at its absolute peak?! We have to do this. Let’s lean into local flavors, the lush seasonal ingredients, the quiet creativity that shows up in every slice. I cannot wait to finally see your cakes in person and celebrate together.

Please note that tickets are limited for this inaugural stop, so grab yours while you can. I am so happy to finally create a moment for us to gather — for cake, for berries, and for each other!

CAKE PICNIC is a gathering for the love of cake. It celebrates cake in all of its forms. It brings communities and friends together for the sole purpose of breaking cake 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. Every attendee brings a whole cake. It is a feast for the ages and you just have to be there.

When: July 18, 2026
