LA CAKE PICNIC
CAKE PICNIC is coming back to Los Angeles!
I know, I know. We’ve been waiting for this for MONTHS. It’s quite unreal that the list for LA is almost 12k. It’s so big that the Partiful page is so slow and doesn’t really load anymore ugh. It takes me 15 minutes to just load the page now… BUT! With the help of Tanya Flink we finally have a venue (!!!). Without Tanya, this would not be possible. Thank you so so much, Tanya! So, without further ado, the second LA CAKE PICNIC is finally happening!
The LA cake community is vibrant, inventive, and full of farm-to-cake magic. From fig leaf bakes and mushroom-decorated masterpieces to mile-long cakes and beyond, almost all of the cake trends we know and love trace their roots back to this city. Is anyone surprised? I’m not!
This year, we’re gathering again to bring all of the LA cake magic together in one place and time. Let’s celebrate cake, community, and creativity. Expect a feast unlike any other: a table overflowing with hundreds of cakes baked and shared by bakers from all over LA. Every cake tells a story and I can’t wait to taste them all with you. I know the LA CAKE PICNIC tables will be full of the most gorgeous, stunning, and delicious cakes we’ve ever seen.
Bring a whole cake (or more!), grab your friends, and get ready to join the picnic that has inspired a movement. This isn’t just a picnic. It’s a chance to be a part of theeeee cake festival in LA. Let’s build this cake heaven and buffet together!
For the love of all things cake,
Elisa
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.

IMPORTANT NOTES
All tickets ($30/ticket) are non-refundable, final sale, and non-transferable. No exceptions under any circumstances.
The event tagline is NO CAKE, NO ENTRY meaning that if you are a living breathing human being, you must bring an entire cake to the event to enter. All cakes must be a minimum of 8 inches wide and 3 inches tall. Do not bring cakes in aluminum / tin pans. All cakes served on the cake tables must be on cake boards for display and decorated beautifully.
Note that there is a limited number of tickets and once the tickets are gone, a new waitlist link will be created and shared on this page. Please note that historically tickets have sold out under 30 seconds. Please set an alarm and plan accordingly. If you do not have a ticket, you will not be able to participate in this event. An RSVP on Partiful is NOT a ticket to the event. No additional tickets, sessions, or dates will be added.
Tickets can not be resold. We will be checking for government-issued IDs to match the name under the ticket purchase. Please do not purchase a ticket from someone else as it will not be honored at CAKE PICNIC registration. Please do not sell tickets to anyone as they won’t be honored at the event. If you are purchasing a ticket for a group, please note that you personally have to be at the event registration to activate your tickets. If you are not 100% sure you can be at the event for your group, please designate someone else to purchase your group tickets.
Due to park capacity, there will be two different sessions: morning and afternoon. Note that a ticket to each session only grants entry and participation into that session. Tickets between sessions are not transferable (i.e. you can not attend the afternoon session with a morning ticket and vice versa). No session trades or exchanges after ticket purchase under any circumstances. Please coordinate with your friends about which session you will be attending.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
*NEW* Does everyone need a ticket?
Due to venue max capacity constraints, every attendee of all ages will need a ticket to be admitted into the event. Each attendee needs a ticket and a whole cake to participate.

If tickets are sold out, an LA waitlist link will be added here for future events. Make sure to sign up!

What does my CAKE PICNIC ticket look like?
Once you complete checking out, an email confirmation of your purchase will be sent to your email. That Squarespace email confirmation is your ticket to the event. Please be ready to show that at CAKE PICNIC registration to receive your materials. Pro tip: please make sure to check your spam folder and mark the message as important.
What kind of cakes can I bring?
Anything that feels special to you. We’ve seen everything from chiffon cakes, upside-down cakes, meringue cakes, trifles, buttercream-layered cakes, to family recipes passed down for generations. The cake you bring becomes part of the story we share that day. The most popular cakes have been: pistachio, chocolate, strawberry, passion fruit, guava, black sesame, Russian honey cake, and savory cakes. Several stunning cakes featured at the event have gone viral!
Important: We want to eat well. Please only bring cakes that you are absolutely excited about and would be proud to share with others. If you have never baked a cake before, you should practice baking several cakes before the event to prepare. If you aren’t inspired to bring the best cake that you can, this event is not for you.

All cakes must be a minimum of 8 inches wide and 3 inches tall. Do not bring cakes in aluminum / tin pans. All cakes served on the cake tables must be on cake boards for display and decorated beautifully.

Where exactly is the LA CAKE PICNIC taking place? What is the agenda?
All ticket holders will receive detailed instructions, maps, and guidance several weeks before the event to help prepare for CAKE PICNIC. Please make sure to check your spam to make sure you’re getting all of the event details.
