Our Students and I have discussed this and one of them even brought up the idea and we LOVE it! It's been done in some major cities in the USA and why not have one here.
So mark your calendars and reserve your spot as we'd love to see you at the first ever cake picnic in Toronto.
Date: Sunday May 24
Time: 10am-12noon
Location:
- West Toronto Railpath - we have a large patch of grass behind our culinary school that we will use for our picnic. We will have tables for cakes!
-
What you need to bring:
- Your 6" cake or larger
- A name tag for your cake. e.g.This is Selma -she's a blueberry lemon cake with walnuts and lemon rind frosting. Be creative but please list any potential allergens for guests who may be allergic to nuts etc. We will send out more comms on what to include in your cake name tag once you've registered.
- A serving tool for guests to cut and sample your cake.
- Napkins, & fancy forks for you to enjoy your cake in style.
- A blanket, chair, cushion to sit on and enjoy everyone else's cake
- Reusable water bottle /non-alcoholic drinks to help wash down all of the cake. We will have a water & pink lemonade station set up for all guests.
- Sunscreen/hat in case it's super sunny!
-
How does it work?
- Guests will arrive, display their cake with their cake's name tag and mix and mingle and admire all the cakes.
- Guests will each get a box and a set time limit, to go and get slices of as many cakes as they can fit into their cake boxes.
- After the cake bell sounds-guests will go to their cosy corner and enjoy their cakes on their blankets with their new found cake friends and fellow cake picnic participants.
And more details will follow once you register! 🍰
