About the Event

The Big Cake Exchange comes to NMWA for an afternoon full of cake, art, and community building.

The rules are simple: Bring a cake, eat many cakes. Whether you are an amateur baker or a seasoned pastry chef, we hope you bring a new bake, meet new friends, and sample all the sweet delights of your fellow cake enthusiasts surrounded by art. To-go boxes will be available to help you grab as many slices as your heart desires, avoid waste, and give you an opportunity to continue sampling and sharing your bounty after the event.
