Ms. Sunga described the intense interest in the festival as both \u201cexciting\u201d and \u201cterrifying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A spectacular variety of cakes adorned the tables, including: a light lemon cake with passion fruit filling, a tower made out of smaller spongecakes, Jell-O cake, pink champagne cake, a kid-baked dinosaur pyramid cake, and plenty of desserts with flowery ornaments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the first hour, picnickers placed their cakes on stands and crammed them onto the tables. Then, after the arranging was complete, came that fleeting and glorious moment: The crowd gawked and took photos of the 1,387 cakes, both sweet and savory, in their pristine, unsliced form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After the photos were taken, the ensuing buffet was an act of controlled chaos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Smaller groups went up for cakewalks. Each person was given a pastry box and instructed to collect slices at will. Once everyone had a turn, the tables were opened for ravenous seconds, thirds and fourths, until no crumbs were left behind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In April 2024, Ms. Sunga, a 34-year-old home baker, hoped to gather about a dozen people in Potrero del Sol Park in San Francisco to sit in a circle and eat cakes that they had baked and brought.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt started primarily because I wanted to eat a lot of cake,\u201d Ms. Sunga said. \u201cI love cake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She posted the gathering on the invitation app Partiful, and it took off. Hundreds of people responded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After the first event in April 2024, she took the cake show on the road, first to Los Angeles, then to New York and then back to San Francisco in November \u2014 \u201cplaces with cake communities,\u201d she said.

(A two-day April picnic in Carlsbad, Calif., is sold out.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Lim, an architect, said she has embraced cake baking for the picnics after at first being intimidated by it. On Saturday, she brought a scallion-pancake focaccia cake with chili-crisp cream cheese frosting and cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI enjoy procrasti-baking, basically baking instead of handling my other life responsibilities,\u201d Ms. Lim said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She said she has been impressed by the creativity and diversity of cakes that people bring. Her cake might just top her previous elaborate entries: a kabocha cake layered with ginger-poached pears and miso-caramel cream cheese frosting, and a sm\u00f6rg\u00e5st\u00e5rta, a Swedish cake with rye layers, hard-boiled eggs and caper filling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Brenna Fallon, one of dozens of volunteers at the picnic, said that the brief period after the cakes are laid out and before the buffet begins is an \u201c\u2018Alice in Wonderland\u2019 moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEverybody is just gleefully going through the aisles,\u201d said Ms. Fallon, 34, who is from Walnut Creek, Calif. \u201cPeople are plotting \u2014 which cakes do they want to make a beeline for when they get in?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
