"No cake, no entry." San Francisco hosts largest cake picnic with a buffet of over a thousand cakes

Have you ever heard about a cake picnic?

It's like a bring and braai, but with cake ... for cake lovers!

San Francisco saw the largest cake potluck on the 29th of March.

The cake picnic was organised on the lawns of the Legion of Honor art museum and has very quickly gained popularity.

Engineer-turned-baker, Elisa Sunga, is the Cake Picnic's organiser and says it has completely taken off since its inception a year ago.

It's reported that the event was attended by more than a thousand people this year and featured a dreamy buffet of about 1387 cakes.

The only rule for this event was: "no cake, no entry."

Pastry chefs and home bakers put together some amazing creations, while others preferred to save themselves the trouble and opted for store-bought cakes instead.

The moment you sign up, you’ll get a wristband and a cake box to fill up.

“It was harder to get than a Taylor Swift concert ticket,” said Sunga, noting that the $15 tickets sold out in less than a minute.

The show had a spectacular variety of cakes adorned with perfect toppers and sprinkles.

From small sponge cakes to a pink champagne cake, the cakes were nothing short of masterpieces.

A child also crafted a dinosaur pyramid cake and plenty of other desserts as well.

The first hour of the show was dedicated to showing off the cakes, but after all the photos were taken, all that was left to do was for everyone to enjoy their and each other's creations.

"I just found the pictures very yummy, delicious and delightful... it's the most amazing spread, it's like the Mad Hatter's tea party on steroids," says Friedman.
