This is event is SOLD OUT folks!

Learn all about ocean creatures via … cake! KQED’s Check, Please! Bay Area producer Cecilia Phillips is hosting a cake bake-off where marine biology will serve as our visual prompt. Each cake will be inspired by the marine life featured in the California Academy of Sciences’ aquariums.

Enter the competition as a beginner, intermediate or advanced baker or join the audience to learn about who is living in our beautiful waters — while eating delicious cake!

NOTE: Baker submissions have closed! We are no longer accepting applicants.

We are holding a bakers’ mixer between 5:30-6:30pm in our lobby. We will be serving drinks from Calaca Coffee and hosting a cookbook exchange. If you want to come, we invite you to bring a cookbook to exchange with other bakers!
