Cupcake picnics past and join us Saturday in Central Park!

This Saturday, June 12th, from 2-4 pm, is our annual Central Park Cupcakes Take the Cake picnic. We do hope you'll join us as it's always a lot of fun and a great chance to meet fellow cupcake lovers and share fun cupcakes, your own, or from bakeries. And cupcake bakeries and custom cupcake companies, this is an excellent way to get feedback and maybe find some new customers. No RSVP required, just show up and join us!

Full details are at Meetup and if you haven't joined our NYC Cupcakes Take the Cake Meetup group you should, so that you can find out what we're up to with our monthly events.

For those of you who have been dying to share your cupcake creations with everyone, this is the meetup you want to attend.

Cupcakes Takes The Cake will be celebrating our 4th annual picnic at Central Park. We will be at Cedar Hill which is near 79th Street and 5th Avenue on the east side of the park. Take the 6 to 77th Street and walk west to 5th Avenue.

Bring homemade or store-bought cupcakes to share. Or bring picnic stuff (blankets, napkins, knifes, water)

Picnic starts at 2PM and ends at 4PM unless it rains.

Kids are welcome! Dogs and loud music are not.


I wanted to share some photos from cupcake picnics of past years. Last year it rained but we huddled under makeshift tarps and had fun and Nora brought her now famous cupcake kebabs and launched a big cupcake trend!

Cupcake kebabs!
