The sweetness extravaganza will be held on Saturday 25th October from 10-4pm at The City Reliquary Museum, 370 Metropolitan Avenue, Williamsburg.
The event revolves around an epic Bake Sale, featuring treats donated by everyone from humble home chefs to top-tier pros and landmark New York bakeries. 100% of the proceeds from the bake sale will support the City Reliquary Museum, a not-for-profit community museum that casts a loving light on the seemingly ordinary people and objects that make New York great.
There will be music, face-painting, story time and crafts throughout the event, and you should bring your swankiest apron to participate in The Apron Fashion Show so you can vie for the title of Brooklyn’s Best Apron!
The festival also features a Blue Ribbon Baking Competition open to all home-bakers. Pro-bakers, food writers, and sweets experts will judge treats entered in each category and award prizes to the best.

11:30am – Best Fall Flavored
Noon – Best Oh My God! Chocolate
1pm – Best Recipe You Made Up
