Cake Picnic

  • Events
  • Food and drink

Note: this event is sold out.

What started in San Francisco as a humble 15-person cake swap has grown into an event that sells out tickets by the thousand in London and New York. Cake Picnic has captured the world's attention with a delicious proposition: you bring an amazing cake to the picnic, and then you get to eat everyone else's amazing cakes. That's a winning ratio of one whole cake for every person in attendance.

Its last San Francisco outing sold out 2000 tickets in less than a minute – if cake is your thing, you’re in for a treat.

Part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.
