Cake Picnic: Recipes for the Love of Cake & Friends

$30 · Offered by Kitchen Arts & Letters

Elisa Sunga invites people to cake picnics—bountiful cake potlucks attended by hundreds —and now you can organize one too, for friends old and new, on the scale of your choosing. After some clear-eyed tips on location, time of day, seating, and the importance of a back-up plan if the weather fails to cooperate, Sunga offers ideas and recipes for fifteen different cake picnics. Some are seasonal; others are visually themed (floral, confetti). You can try a location-based picnic for the beach, poolside, or camping. Or go all-in on flavors like chocolate, citrus, or even corn. Sunga's recipe selection assumes you have good access to popular standards, so look elsewhere for lemon pound cakes or German chocolate. Here you'll find the likes of basil and blackberry dome cake, smoked molasses persimmon cake, guava cream cheese bundt cake, and lemon cured and saltine cracker cake. The orange Aperol spritz sheet cake looks like it will travel particularly well, too. Imaginative and playful. Hardcover. Color photographs throughout.
