Calling all cake lovers! On April 6, 2025, Buffalo’s first-ever Cake Club will bring together 75 cake enthusiasts for an afternoon of homemade treats and community at The Show at Shea’s Seneca.

The concept is simple: the only cost of entry is a scratch-made cake. Participants will trade slices, meet fellow bakers, and enjoy their sweet haul at the venue (or take it home)! A cash bar will feature cocktails and mocktails, including selections from Public Espresso.

Cake Club is an extension of Bon Appetit Buffalo’s monthly cookbook club and a celebration of baking in good company. It also raises awareness about the Buffalo chapter of For Goodness Cakes, an organization that matches volunteer bakers with opportunities to bake birthday and graduation cakes for children in foster care and youth overcoming adversity. The Buffalo chapter welcomes donations and new bakers looking to make a difference.

This free, community-driven event is made possible by Bon Appetit Buffalo, Christa Glennie (food editor at Buffalo Spree), and their partners at The Show at Shea’s Seneca and Public Espresso.

How It Works

The only entry fee for Cake Club is a cake you baked—no cake, no entry. Registration is required.

• Every cake counts! No matter how skilled a baker you are, you’re a welcome member of Cake Club. Savory or sweet, layer or sheet, vegan or bacon-smothered, cakes of all shapes and sizes are embraced. 
• Participants pre-register their cake, along with its name and ingredients.
• Cake Club is a 21+ event. We are sorry but no plus-ones or children are permitted
• Tickets cannot be purchased. Registration and a made-from-scratch cake are required for entry.
