Riyadh is preparing for its first Indoor Cake Picnic, a one-of-a-kind festival that brings together bakers, families, and cake lovers under one roof. Scheduled for Saturday, 22 November 2025 at 1pm, the event will offer a blend of social interaction, creative baking, and unlimited tastings in an indoor setting that promises comfort and celebration.
A trend travelling from Dubai to Riyadh
Earlier this year, Dubai welcomed the cake picnic trend with an indoor version tailored to its residents’ love for unique lifestyle events. Riyadh is now taking the same concept and giving it its own flavour. By moving the festival indoors, the organisers have created an environment where cakes remain fresh, buttercream stays intact, and families can gather without battling the heat.
The setup will feature long tables lined with cakes in every style and flavour. Visitors can walk through rows of creations, enjoy endless tastings, and connect with both amateur bakers and seasoned professionals. More than just food, it’s a social gathering built around something everyone can agree on—cake.
A chance for bakers to shine
For bakers across Riyadh, this event is a rare opportunity to showcase talent on a large stage. Registration costs SAR100, and each participant brings their best creation to the table. Beyond presenting recipes, the event encourages conversations between bakers, sharing of techniques, and plenty of inspiration for home kitchens.
Winning the crowd’s attention with the most memorable cake isn’t just about bragging rights—it’s about being part of a wider community of enthusiasts. For many, it will be the first step towards introducing their baking skills to a larger audience.
Unlimited tastings for cake lovers
For those who prefer eating to baking, the Riyadh Cake Picnic is just as exciting. A ticket priced at SAR200 gives tasters unlimited access to every cake on display. From rich chocolate classics to adventurous new flavours, the variety ensures there is something for every palate.
The atmosphere encourages indulgence without hesitation. Guests can return for extra slices, compare flavours with friends, and truly make the most of the spread on offer.
An event for families
The organisers have made sure the Riyadh Cake Picnic is not just for adults. Children under 15 can join for SAR50, giving families an affordable way to enjoy the day together. For many parents, the chance to sit with friends while their children enjoy cake in a safe, buzzing indoor setting will be a welcome weekend option.
Cold drinks and a lively social environment make the event more than a quick tasting session—it becomes a full family outing. The mix of cakes, chatter, and community spirit ensures it appeals across generations.
Riyadh has hosted several food-related gatherings in recent years, but this one carries a personal touch. Cake symbolises celebration, comfort, and shared memories. By centring an event around it, the Riyadh Cake Picnic turns a simple idea into something special.
It’s part tasting session, part competition, and part cultural experience. In many ways, the event mirrors Dubai’s growing appetite for lifestyle-driven festivals where food and social connection take centre stage. Riyadh’s edition adds to this regional trend, showing how culinary creativity continues to shape entertainment across the GCC.
