London's first ‘cake picnic' welcomes hundreds of bakers — and a happy dog
A mong the usual runners, yoga posers and bleary-eyed post-clubbers, another group descended on Greenwich Park on Saturday morning. Rarely do they come together as one. Usually they are found squirrelled away in their kitchens, behind counters, watching from the sidelines as people enjoy the fruits of their labour. At 8.50am they began trickling in, bearing pristine white cake boxes. At 9am hordes of bakers were making their way to the gleaming long tables set out on the parched lawns near Blackheath Gate, undeterred by the uncharacteristically chilly July morning. Tiered cakes, sandwich cakes, bundt cakes, traybakes, loaf cakes, dessert cakes; a steady parade of carbs was on the move, heading towards London's inaugural Cake Picnic. Watching from a distance, megaphone in hand, was Elisa Sunga, 35, from San Francisco, a self-professed cake obsessive who dreamt up the idea of a mass cake gathering last year. 'I wanted to eat a lot of cake but I also didn't want to bake all those cakes by myself,' she explained. 'So I thought, if I create an event and make it a requirement that every attendee has to bring a whole cake, then I could eat cake in the park with my friends.'

Want to attend Chennai's first ever Cake Buffet? The only catch — you have to bring a cake to get in
''No cake, no entry', that is our tagline,' laughs Maariya Kulsum Tanveer, one of the organisers of Chennai's first ever Cake Buffet. Organised by The Great Madras Bake Sale team, the event is inspired from Cake Picnic, a concept popular in the US, where thousands of attendees carry a cake each for the picnic and get to try out all the different cakes present there. Taking baby steps, the team (also comprising Cindana Manickavel and Priya Anup) wants to start with 100-120 participants. The event that has piqued the interest of experienced home bakers and novice patissiers has so far already received 80-plus registrations. 'There will also be a competition. We will be judging the look and decoration of the cakes, it will have to be minimum one kilo,' says Maaria. The participants will be divided into three batches. Each batch gets seven minutes to go around and take their slices of cake. Everybody is getting experimental and the organisers are encouraging them to experiment with decoration and flavours. Expect mango and passion fruit cheesecakes, matcha and yuzu cakes (thanks to all recent K-dramas and holidays in Japan), Kunafa cakes..., says Maaria. But how do they plan to keep a check on quality and if the cakes are being baked by the participant? Because let's face it, the greed for dessert can sometimes lead one to be devious. Maaria laughs, 'Yes there is a possibility that someone might bring a store bought cake, it will be difficult to monitor that. And as for taste, it is a buffet — typically in a buffet you will have good and bad dishes.' The idea for now is for participants to sample cakes and have fun. Cake Buffet will take place on July 12 at The Presidency Club. To register, participants must bring a cake. The registration fee is ₹899. For registrations, call: 9840285950
