🚗 Carpool Coordination for Seattle Cake Meet 🎂 A few people requested a space to coordinate rides, so the whats app group is being opened temporarily for those who wish to offer or request a carpool to Gas Works Park. 📍Venue: Gas Works Park 🗓 Date: June 8 🚘 Parking Note: Please allow 10–15 minutes to find parking and avoid residential zones where possible. ⚠ Important: This group will remain open for carpool coordination until 11:30 am tomorrow (June 8). After that, it will be used for event updates only. 🔍 Note: Zesty and Seattle Cake Meet are not coordinating or responsible for any carpools. Please make arrangements at your own discretion, and feel free to connect 1:1 or coordinate outside the group once matched. Thanks for helping each other get there! 💛🍰 #SeattleCakeMeet

HOW IT WORKS

This is a free (members only – join here) potluck gathering. All cakes are voluntarily brought by participants. No food is sold at the event. Space is limited, so please reserve your spot in advance.

Every member brings a cake!

One cake per person; child or adult - everybody gets a whole cake to share.

Check-in with your cake, collect your empty box and a colored band!

Event Basics

Sunday, June 8, 2025 | 1:00–5:00 PM at Gas Works Park, Seattle, WA.

Check-in starts at 1:00 PM. All cakes must be checked in before 1:30 PM. Plan an extra 10–15 minutes for parking and walking.

No. Pre-registration via membership is required. Walk-ins are not allowed.

Gas Works Park offers ~150 public parking spots (not reserved). Please avoid residential areas. Carpooling is encouraged. Additional parking is available within a 15–20 minute walk.

No. This is a community celebration. No judging, just joy.

Yes! We need helpers for setup, check-in, timekeeping, and content creation. Volunteers get a shirt and a sweet treat. Email [email protected] and [email protected]

Membership & Participation

No individual tickets are sold. Access is granted via a Membership that you can purchase. Events are free for members.

A $15 membership gives you access to cake meet-ups hosted by us, early event access, and a $15 coupon for Zesty orders.

Yes. Each member must bring a cake (homemade or store-bought from a local bakery).

You can pre-order from a licensed local baker via ZestyBakers.com – pickup will be coordinated separately before the event. You can also support any other local baker or bakery that you want. Large chains (Costco, Safeway, etc.) are not encouraged.

Memberships are non-transferable. If you pre-ordered a cake and can’t attend, email us, and we can help coordinate.

Cake Guidelines

  • Whole, uncut cakes only (minimum 6″ diameter)
  • At least 10 servings (so that we can all eat lots of cake!)
  • Clearly labeled with name and full ingredients – especially allergens
  • Include your own serving utensil (knife/spatula)
  • Given the warmer days – we request you not to bring milk/ cream cheese, or sour cream-based cakes.

Yes of course! We can never have too much cake! We only request that you follow the same rules for each cake that you choose to bring.

Sweet, savory, gluten-free, vegan, crepe-style—anything goes as long as it holds at room temperature. This is an outdoor event in the warmer months, so we discourage you from bringing milk, cheese, or sourcream cream-based cakes.

No. Full cakes only. However, cupcakes/cookies presented as a single cake are welcome (and kind of genius!)

If you don’t want to bake yourself, no problem! You can bring any locally brought cake (no grocery store cakes).

Zesty has curated a catalogue of beautiful cakes from local licensed bakers who would love to bake for you! Zesty is also discounting these cakes for the cake meet-up.

You can simply purchase the Membership + Cake option and sit back and relax!

Allergens & Food Safety

Yes, but label clearly. Cakes with common allergens will be placed on marked tables. We cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment as cross-contamination is possible in community events. If you have a very severe or life-threatening allergic reaction, we recommend you exercise caution.

You can bring cakes that suit your dietary needs. Clearly label ingredients. We can’t ensure allergen-free cakes when you get slices for yourself. This is a community event, and cross-contamination is possible. We request that you use your best judgment.

Day-of Details

A great mood to enjoy the day and:

  • Your cake
  • Label with cake name + ingredients
  • Serving utensil
  • Blanket or lawn chairs, if you want (limited seating in the park)
  • Membership confirmation (digital or printed)

Yes. Each attendee will get an empty cake box, forks, and napkins at check-in.

Due to the potluck nature of this event, nothing will be sold at the event. We will carry some bottled water to distribute free of cost, however, we recommend that you bring your own water.

Yes – the event is outdoors. We’ll monitor the weather and update 24 hours in advance. If you pre-purchased the cakes, we will contact you to find alternate ways to unite you with your cake!

Yes! Children are welcome. Each person, child or adult must bring a cake for sharing.

Absolutely! You must take photos, and please do tag your hosts @zestybakers and @seattlebakeshop with #SeattleCakeMeet.

Please note that the membership purchase includes a Photography waiver that permits the hosts to use any photographs taken during the event.
