Calling all amateur bakers, sweet treat creators, and cake enthusiasts of Albany (and beyond) - we're having a Cake Picnic!

Registration is restricted to individuals, and each individual registered must bring their own cake!

Interested in participating? You MUST bring:

-a cake* that can be sliced into party portions (think itty bitty teeny tiny little slices or squares!)
-list of potential allergens to display
-a sweet tooth and an empty stomach

*What is a cake, even?

For our purposes, a cake is: something that is baked, usually containing flour and sugar, and often assembled with other ingredients to make layers. Think a classic birthday cake, an opera cake, a pineapple upside down cake, a cake roll, or even a tiramisu! We welcome and encourage cakes from all over the world: pavlova, basbousa, hummingbird cake, tres leches, and more. As long as it's a cake, you can bring it!

FAQ:

Can I participate if I don't have a library card? - Yes! But we'd love to get you a library card if you have a minute.
Can I make a cake with nuts? - Yes - please check with staff so we can have a clear label for nuts.
Can I make multiple cakes? - Yes, you can bring more than one cake (but not an extra person - they need to register and bring their own cake!)
