London's CAKE PICNIC is back and this time, we're teaming up with Strawberry Shortcake!
We're stepping into the World of Strawberry Shortcake: one full of sweetness, colour, and the most beloved berry of them all. Think rosy pinks and ruby reds, the scent of fresh strawberries in the summer air, and a gathering that feels like it was dreamed up in the most delightful corner of a berry patch. I cannot wait to see how you bring this world to life through your cakes.
So let's lean all the way into Strawberry Shortcake. Think strawberry layer cakes and cream-filled shortcakes, strawberry jam swirls and fresh berry garnishes, rosy frostings and whimsical decorations worthy of Strawberry’s most sweetest celebration. Whether you go classic, creative, or completely over the top. As long as it smells like strawberries and is filled with berry sweet joy, you're doing it exactly right.
Most of all, I cannot wait to see so many of you in person and celebrate together. There is something truly magical about seeing hundreds of homemade cakes gathered in one place, and I have a feeling London is going to bring something extraordinarily sweet to the table.
See you at London CAKE PICNIC!
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: Sunday, July 5
Where: A beautiful park in London! Exact location will be shared with ticket holders
