About this Event

One year ago, All Booked Up was just an idea now it’s a community

All Booked Up is turning ONE đź’•
Join us for a whimsical, storybook-inspired dessert picnic in the Mission Rose Garden.

Each guest will bring a dessert inspired by a favorite book, and together we’ll create a magical dessert table filled with sweet, literary treats.

Spend the afternoon among the roses, connecting with fellow readers, sharing what you’re currently loving, and soaking in a soft, dreamy, bookish atmosphere.

Before you leave, you’ll curate your own take-home dessert box with your favorite treats 🍰

What your ticker includes:

  • Entry to our 1-year anniversary celebration
  • A whimsical, bookish picnic experience
  • Access to a shared dessert table inspired by favorite stories
  • A take-home dessert box
  • Dreamy photo moments among the roses
  • A “what are you reading” community conversation
  • Voting for Most Creative Dessert
  • An ABU birthday freebie đź’•

How it woks:

Bring a dessert that serves 12 people inspired by a book, character, or story you love. Add your treat to the desert table then curate your own treat box to enjoy.
