Did anyone else attend the SF Cake Picnic yesterday (October 19, 2025) on Treasure Island? It was my first time, and what a pleasant surprise!!
As an extroverted introvert, I was a little anxious about how big it might be (and how many cakes I’d have to resist sampling), but it turned out to be SUCH a fun, welcoming event!
I wish I’d had more time to see every single cake — but with over 2,000 (!!) stunning cakes on display, it was impossible to take it all in.
I brought 2 of my own cakes: an 8" x 4" entremet (passionfruit, mango, coconut, dulcey and vanilla bean) and a persian love cake bundt (almond, pistachio, citrus, rose, cardamom)!
I would love to see what others brought or your favorite cakes from the day!

Dang, I missed it! Treasure Island is closer to me than they usually are held, too. There were some scammy “cake picnic” events happening awhile ago so I started tuning them out and missed the good one.
I’ve been considering starting a baking club in the East Bay somewhere. We have the Contra Costa Cake Club but that’s more about cake decorating and they don’t really do any baking itself. I don’t have enough baking friends!
STUNNING. Absolutely beautiful, you have such a unique vision
Aw, they both look beautiful and delicious! I love your decorating style. I didn’t attend this one, but I did attend the first Cake Picnic that was held in Los Angeles in June last year.
We had 253 cakes and I didn’t even get to try them all… I can’t imagine 2k!! Hope you had a great time. Everyone at my event was lovely too.
Your cakes look lovely! How did you find out about the event?
It was so much fun!!
How do you get the ceiling texture on your cake
I hope we have a cake club in my area
Omg! They look so good! I had a client tell me about the cake picnic this weekend. Wish I coulda gone!
I would show up to this, look at all the cakes, and run away with my tail between my legs. Haha!
These are stunning!
Sounds amazing. And your cakes sound amazing too!!! Yummy 🤤
That’s so fun! How does it work? Is there some kind of system or do they just cut them up and people can grab whatever slice they want?
Extroverted introvert hit me in the feels today.🥰 Gorgeous cakes–bet they tasted amazing!
These are simply gorgeous!
No we are talking. Never heard about a cake picnic before..and I am in love with your cakes! Thank you for sharing your magical creations!
