Surrey bakers unite for Cakesgiving on Oct. 19 at Just Cake Bakeshop, a $20 community cake swap event featuring shared recipes, networking, and sweet creations.
Local Bakers Launch Sweet Tradition
Two Surrey bakers, Raveena Oberoi of Just Cake Bakeshop and Neely Rajput of The Whisk Full Baker, are joining forces to host Cakesgiving, a first-of-its-kind community cake swap event. The gathering takes place Saturday, Oct. 19, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Just Cake Bakeshop in Cloverdale (17957 55 Ave.).
Tickets Sell Out Quickly
Interest in the event has been overwhelming. Tickets, priced at $20 each, initially sold out in under 15 hours. Organizers later released additional seats after witnessing the strong demand. Tickets remain available through Eventbrite.
Purpose Behind the Celebration
The organizers say the goal of Cakesgiving is to foster collaboration and connections in Surrey’s baking community. “We wanted to bring together bakers from all walks of life, whether home-based, professional, or hobbyists,” Rajput explained.
How the Event Works
Each attendee is required to bring a homemade cake, a printed copy of their recipe, and a container to take home slices from other bakers. The swap ensures everyone leaves with a variety of treats while also learning new recipes.
More Than Just Cake
Alongside the swap, local vendors will be on-site to support with cake decorating and demonstrations. Organizers emphasize the spirit of learning and collaboration, highlighting that “when bakers come together, it strengthens both skills and community ties.”
A Growing Community Tradition
Described as “a delicious community cake swap where everyone brings a cake, shares a recipe, and leaves with slices of every sweet creation,” Cakesgiving is set to become a new tradition for Surrey’s baking enthusiasts.
