Summary
Saturday’s Cake Fest ROC will run from noon to 3 p.m. at Rochester’s Highland Park, where guests are asked to bring a dessert to share in a community-style “cake picnic.”
Organizers say the event is bigger this year, pairing the same bring-a-dessert format with a Bridgerton-inspired theme, elaborate cake artistry, local bakers, vendors, photo spots and a luxury picnic setup.
Alexxis Ellison said the festival was built to put community over competition, giving Rochester’s baking community, sugar artists and small businesses a place to connect directly with residents.
Beyond the cakes, the event is positioned as a showcase for local creativity, entrepreneurship and small-business talent in Rochester.
