Cake Picnic: Recipes for the love of cake and friends - Elisa Sunga

From the founder of 'Cake Picnic' – a series of joyful and indulgent gatherings where every attendee brings a whole cake – this cookbook of 50 baking recipes includes a guide to hosting your own events and encourages bakers to lean into play, connection, community… and lots of cake!

Part how-to guide, part recipe collection, Cake Picnic provides everything you need to host your own delightfully decadent cake picnic. Here is practical advice for planning, hosting, and attending: how to choose a theme, prepare your guests, set up the event, encourage connection, transport whole cakes, and more.

The icing on the cake is 50 recipes, organised by theme, from an Autumn Harvest Cake Picnic to an Afternoon Tea Cake Picnic, a Beach Cake Picnic to a Salty-Sweet Cake Picnic. These imaginative recipes will inspire your creativity and tempt your sweet tooth:

• Sour Cherry & Pistachio Buttermilk Cake
• Torched Rosemary Caramel Cake
• Chocolate & Earl Grey Whipped Cream Cake
• Guava Cream Cheese Bundt Cake
• Roasted Apple & Sesame Upside-Down Cake
• Pretzel S’mores Cake
• And many more!

Let this book be your invitation to spread joy through baking and plan your own celebration. And never apologise for trying 10 slices in one sitting – happiness often comes iced, sprinkled and cut into generous servings.
