Do I have to bring a cake to attend?

A ticket alone does not guarantee access to the event, you must bring one whole cake (minimum 6 inches) per paid ticket to attend the event. It can be home baked or shop-bought!

What kind of cakes can I bring?

Any kind, either homemade or store-bought, minimum size should be 6inch. We would love to see how creative people can be with their cake layers, fillings and decorations!

Food handling & safety

We advise that all cakes are prepared and transported safely. Cakes should be stored in a way that prevents spoilage or contamination. Items with perishable ingredients (e.g. dairy, fresh fruit, whipped cream) must be kept refrigerated before the event and safely transported. 

Do I need to label ingredients?

Yes please, we will not be able to include cakes that do not have an allergy card! For allergy awareness, we ask that you provide a list of ingredients or major allergens if possible, including if alcohol is used. 

Allergies / dietary restrictions

Attendees with allergies or dietary needs participate in the event at their own risk. We require all cakes to be clearly labelled with allergens, and alcohol, but we cannot guarantee there is no cross contamination. Bake Fest are not liable for any allergic reactions, or food borne illnesses. 

Will there be vegan/gluten-free cakes?

As the event is all about the cakes brought by attendees, it depends if attendees bring them! If there are any, we’ll do our best to ensure these are in one particular section to make them easier to find but we can’t guarantee cross-contamination safety.

Is the event family-friendly?

Kids are welcome but we kindly ask they are supervised at all times, especially around the cakes. Children under 12 are free and do not need to bring a cake! 

Can I bring my dog?

Unfortunately the event is not suitable for dogs.

Waste Management

We kindly ask all attendees to ensure they clean up any rubbish and ensure all belongings are taken with them.

What happens if it rains?

As this is an outdoor event, we will be keeping a close eye on the weather – you can never be too sure in England! If there are any changes to the event, we will let everyone know at least 72 hours in advance. 

What happens if I can’t make the event anymore?  

Unfortunately tickets are non-refundable or transferable.
