This year, we’re adding a twist – everyone gets to be part of the magic! Grab your ticket and bring along your own cake, baked or bought, and let your creativity shine with a floral-inspired design. Think blossoms, petals, and garden vibes on your cakes to match the theme.
And it’s not just the cakes going floral – we want you to dress the part too! Put on your favourite floral outfit and get ready for a day filled with colourful cakes, garden beauty, music, and plenty of Instagram-worthy moments.
There are prizes to be won and goodie bags too!
