New York CAKE PICNIC 2026 – Fall Tour 2026

October 17: NYC CAKE PICNIC at Governors Island

This fall, CAKE PICNIC is returning to NYC for a sweet and spooky gathering on Governors Island!

Join us for a beautiful autumn day outside, surrounded by crisp fall air, sweeping views of the city, and hundreds of cakes in all the most delicious flavors of the season. Think brown butter pumpkin spice, chocolate Biscoff, cinnamon roll cake, miso caramel apple, sticky toffee pudding, spiced kabocha, black sesame and Oreo, toasted marshmallow, and so much more.

Across the Fall Tour, we’re celebrating the magic of the season with cakes inspired by all things playful, mysterious, and a little bit haunted. Think deep autumn colors, unexpected flavors, whimsical decorations, and cakes that are equal parts beautiful and eerie. Whether your cake is charmingly spooky, wonderfully strange, or simply filled with your favorite cozy fall flavors, we can’t wait to see what you bring to the table.

Bring a whole cake you’re proud to share, dress in your sweetest and spookiest fall look, and spend the day tasting hundreds of cakes, meeting new friends, and making a little autumn magic together. Let’s fill Governors Island with hundreds of cakes and celebrate a sweet and spooky fall day in NYC!

Our friends from Pistakio and Grüns will also be joining and sharing some goodies with all of us!
