CAKE PICNIC
at The Flower Fields!

For the first time ever, CAKE PICNIC and Cotton are pairing up to bring you the softest, sweetest gathering yet: a super special edition of CAKE PICNIC at The Flower Fields in Carlsbad!

Join us for our most colorful and coziest picnic yet! A feast for all of the senses, this event celebrates the joy of cake, friendship, and the beauty of spring in full bloom. Surrounded by thousands of ranunculus flowers in bloom, let’s celebrate cake in all of its forms. Pillowy-soft, silky-smooth, and multi-layered. All words describing cake… and cotton. Cotton brings softness to every moment, just like the perfect slice of cake. It’ll be a feast for the ages with the fabric of our lives. This will be such a special day that we’ll remember forever and talk about for months and months.

Let’s turn the fields into the sweetest picnic imaginable – bring a cake, and we’ll create a cake buffet of our dreams with over a hundred cakes to choose from and enjoy.

EVENT SCHEDULE

I will try to follow this schedule as closely as possible but depending on flow/traffic/arrivals, there will be some slight changes real-time, as needed. Thank you for your patience, understanding, flexibility, and grace.

  • 8:00 - 9:00 AM: ARRIVAL AND PARKING

    Parking at The Flower Fields will be tight. I highly recommend using public transportation (bus, Uber, Lyft) and arriving early. You might want to ask friends or family to drop you off. I want to make sure you are checked in and your cake is at the table by the time we start!

  • 8:30 - 10:00 AM: EVENT CHECK IN

    Everyone arrives and checks in to enter the event. Line up to reach the check-in table and show the following FOUR required items. If you do not have all four, you can not participate. This applies to every single human attending. Each human needs all five of the following items below. No exceptions. Please plan to arrive early and on time as we want to make sure your cake is at the tables before we start! Please note: there is a ~10-12 minute walk between the entry gate and the CAKE PICNIC tables that have been set up in the middle of the flower fields.

    • Squarespace ticket confirmation email. After purchasing your ticket(s), an email confirmation will be sent to your email. Please bring a copy of this email to the event - either a print out or on your mobile phone. If you purchased tickets for a group, only 1 email is needed and the group must check-in together.

    • Matching ID with the Squarespace confirmation email. If your ID doesn’t match the Squarespace ticket confirmation, we can NOT honor it. If you purchased tickets for a group, only the ID of the purchaser is required.

    • Your whole cake(s). Must be bigger than 6 inches. Please bring cake that you love and want to share with others. We don’t want any bad cakes and just want to feast on the best things possible.

    • Cake label. Bring a label for your cake with the title of your cake with major allergens listed (i.e. Roasted peanut chiffon cake with black sesame buttercream — nuts, dairy). We recommend using/creating something like this. We will not be providing cake labels at the event. We can not accept cakes with no labels.

  • 10:00 - 10:10 AM: Event welcome and overview

  • 10:15 - 11:00 AM: Let’s eat cake! Groups will be called on to grab cake slices for their pastry boxes. Please be courteous and only grab an equivalent portion of cake to what you brought (i.e. if you brought a 16-slice cake, grab 16 equivalent slices). Once all of the groups have gone to get cake slices, the cake tables will be opened up to all for seconds and thirds - take all of the cake you want home. We don’t want any cake left! Please don’t worry about cake running out, there is always so much leftover.

  • 11:00 AM: Cake clean up begins but you can continue to keep picnicking and exploring The Flower Fields!
