During my time off, I took the chance to attend the much-talked-about cake picnic.
Cake
Picnic has truly become a cake-tastic global sensation this
year, and I was excited to finally attend one.
After doing a little digging, I discovered that the very first
Cake Picnic only started in April 2024 in San Francisco. Thanks to social
media, the idea spread like wildfire, and now people all over the world are
hosting their own versions.
For this event, I baked two cakes. One was a soft vanilla cake
filled with caramel topped with fresh kiwi, and the other was a strawberry jam
cake topped with fresh strawberries.
Since this was the organizers’ very first attempt, I don’t want to
be too harsh, but honestly, I think the event could have benefitted from better
planning. I dropped off my cakes, snapped a few pictures, and left to have
dinner. Later that evening, I checked social media and noticed many people were
also commenting on the poor organization.
Hopefully, the next Cake Picnic will be a smoother experience
because the concept itself is absolutely delightful, and I’d love to see it
done well!
Have a lovely
day.
Your cakes look beautiful and yummy. I also attended the cake picnic and I didn't stay long cos there was no place to sit. Wish I knew you were there would have loved to meet you. 😊
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Adiaha. I’m glad you were there too, though I completely understand. I also felt the lack of seating made it a bit difficult to stay long. Such a shame we missed each other, it would’ve been lovely to meet you. Hopefully at the next one we’ll get the chance. 😊
DeleteI'm sorry it was a little off with the planning, but what a neat idea as a whole! I've never heard of Cake Picnic before! Both of your cakes look beautiful and I bet they were delicious!!

Thank you so much. It really was such a fun and colorful event. I hope you get the chance to attend one in the future. it’s such a sweet experience (literally and figuratively) 🍰✨
DeleteI was also there, an your cake was one of my top 5 cakes in that cake picnic. It looked expensive with the strawberry and kiwi. Truly, It was a bit of a letdown when the event didn't quite match the amazing concept, especially when you put effort to contribute your own delicious cakes.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, the organizers will take the social media feedback to heart and the next one will be a much smoother and sweeter experience.
Wow, thank you so much. That really means a lot to me. I’m so glad you enjoyed my cake and noticed the strawberry and kiwi topping.

Fingers crossed the feedback helps and the next one turns out to be the sweet experience it deserves to be.
