Let them eat 1,600 cakes: inside Australia's first Cake Picnic
"The Cake Picnic is not a competition, or even a showcase, it's cakenomic redistribution on a grand scale. Bake one, then sample until your sugary little heart is content."
"In the spirit of a pot luck, the idea is simple: bring an offering and share the spoils. There's a winner technically, but the focus is on enjoyment and community."
The Cake Picnic in Melbourne showcased 1,600 cakes as part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. Created by Elisa Sunga in 2024, the event promotes cake sharing rather than competition. Participants must bring a cake to enter, fostering a communal atmosphere. The event is unpretentious and encourages sampling various cakes. Alice Bennett, known as Miss Trixie Drinks Tea, served as an assistant judge, aiming to taste numerous cakes. The event has gained popularity, touring multiple cities and celebrating the joy of baking and sharing.
