Cape Town Cake Picnic

Join Us for Cape Town’s Biggest Cake Picnic!

Love cake? Then don’t miss this sweet summer event in one of Cape Town’s most beautiful gardens.

What is a Cake Picnic?

It’s simple. Everyone brings a cake. We lay them out on long tables. Together, we build the city’s biggest cake table.

First, we admire the cakes. Photos and videos are encouraged. Then we cut and share. Every cake is sliced and served fairly. You’ll get to try a wide range of delicious homemade cakes.

Bring a blanket, relax on the lawn, and enjoy the afternoon with friends and fellow cake lovers.
