10:00am - 1:00pm
With live music by The Wildflowers.
Join us for a magical sweet summer morning of creativity and community at the farm as we host our first-ever Blooms & Buttercream Festival! Dress in your most festive picnic attire, bring your camera and a blanket or chair to enjoy the cake, flowers and live music!
If you enjoy baking for friends and family, are a professional pastry chef, or would like to pick up a cake from your local baker (not grocery), we invite you to bring a cake creation to share!
Sweet, quirky, elegant - classic favorites or creative showstoppers, all cakes 6 inches and larger are welcome (no grocery store purchased sheet cakes allowed).
We’ll be hosting a lighthearted baking competition with prizes for Best use of Edible Flowers, Prettiest Cake, and Most Unique Cake. Winners will receive a Two Bees Gift Certificate as a sweet reward for their baking skills.
Here's how it works:
- No cake, no entry! To taste the cakes, you must bring a cake or purchase a Cake Taster Ticket. (If a spouse, child or friend would like to attend with you, they must either bring a cake or purchase a ticket).
- Check-in with your cake at 10am.
- Once all cakes are in place on the display table, the Cake Bakers will judge, admire and take photos of the beautiful cakes displayed.
After we are done celebrating the works of art, Two Bees staff will cut into the cakes and Tasters will receive a box to collect slices of cake in their to-go containers to enjoy.
Then what?
- Let's eat cake! A fork will be provided.
- Bring a chair or blanket.
- Pick your own flowers - additional fee.
- Listen to the live music.
- We hope to have coffee drinks available for purchase.
- Outdoor games, take a walk, see the bees and ducks.
All cake entries must bring:
- A cake plate to display your cake on.
- A knife to cut your cake with.
- A sign that showcases your special cake.
- Full list of ingredients so attendees with food allergies or sensitivities can make informed choices.
