What to know about the 'Cake Picnic' tour coming to Brooklyn on November 8
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Calling all dessert lovers with a sweet tooth: The "Cake Picnic" tour is heading to New York City next month!
Hundreds of New Yorkers are expected to partake in the sweet festivities when the "Cake Picnic" tour comes to Brooklyn on November 8.
The viral food tour has been making stops at different cities this year, bringing together a community of people with a shared love for the baked confectionary.
So far, the international food tour has visited cities including San Francisco, Minneapolis and London. Upcoming tour stops include Chicago, Melbourne, Paris and Toronto, among others.
According to tour organizers, there were 1,387 cakes brought to the San Francisco event back in March.
Tickets for the New York City event begin at $50 and can be purchased on the Cake Picnic Tour website starting at 1 p.m. on Monday, October 6.
There's one catch though -- you have to bring a cake to get some cake. Attendees can bring any type of cake, including those that are homemade or store-bought, as long as they're excited about sharing it with others. All cakes should be at least 8 inches wide and 3 inches tall, organizers say.
The "Cake Picnic" tour is the brainchild of Elisa Sunga. According to Sunga, the idea started off as a way to surround herself with friends and as many cakes as possible, but it quickly turned into something bigger.
"In my earliest daydreams of this event, it was a small and intimate picnic of maybe 15 new friends forming a circle at the park. Once we've formed our circle, we would take turns introducing ourselves and what cake we brought to the picnic," Sunga said in a statement.
"I had no idea this would draw such a crowd and that everyone would share my dream so passionately."
