Canberra is about to experience a bake-off with heart. On Friday 18 October, Fearless Women invites you to Strathnairn Arts for the city’s first-ever Bring a cake, share it around event, an afternoon where cake meets community, and every slice helps girls and young women live life fearlessly.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Strathnairn’s gallery and gardens, Cake O’Clock is more than a celebration of baking, it’s a chance to connect, give, and savour the joy of sharing. Guests are encouraged to bring a cake (big or small, simple or spectacular), swap slices with others, and discover a smorgasbord of flavours from delicate Victoria sponge to bold black forest, playful rocky road to colourful rainbow creations. Plates, spoons, and smiles will all be provided, just bring your cake and your sweet tooth.
