A Literary Cake Picnic

Curated by @prettysweetpicnic and hosted in collaboration with @midnightbooksla

All guests are required to bring a cake. Cakes inspired by a book, character, author, or line of poetry are encouraged but not required.

An open mic will be held for those who wish to read from their own work or share a beloved passage.

For a bit of creative guidance, here's a PDF full of literary cake ideas to inspire your baking:
