The Cake Picnic With Over 1,000 Cakes Could Make A Comeback In San Francisco This Fall

This spring, the Legion of Honor hosted a massive cake picnic, featuring over 1,000 cakes covering the museum’s front lawn. The event resulted from a collaboration between the viral cake picnic event and the museum to celebrate the opening of the Wayne Thiebaud exhibition. The painter was well known for painting colorful cakes and decadent desserts, so it was only fitting to celebrate the exhibition with a massive cake picnic. The event was a major success, with rows of cakes lining the lawn. The cake picnics then spread to other cities, including London . Now, organizers hope for another massive cake picnic in San Francisco this October. So far, plans for the next picnic are sparse, with only the hope of hosting one in October in SF . According to the event description from organizers, a tentative date is set for October 19th at 1 pm , although there are no other details regarding a location or tickets. Organizers urge people interested in attending the potential event to sign up for text updates to stay in the loop. Organizers also hope to return to more cities this fall, including Los Angeles this September , but they currently do not have any details set. The event was started by Elisa Sunga, who loved cake and would gather friends to share cakes with each other. Since then, it’s grown from a few friends sharing cake in the park to massive community events. To attend a cake picnic, you need to bring a cake (the rules clearly state “No cake, no entry”), but organizers emphasize that store-bough t cakes are welcome if you’re not confident in your baking skills. So, while it’s still uncertain if SF will get another cake picnic this fall, we can always hope for more opportunities to eat some great cake.
