Asbury FRESH x Killing Moon Vegan Bakes Cake - Meet Cute It’s like speed dating… but for cake! The Cake Meet-Cute is the heart of Love At First Bite - a sweet, playful way for bakers and cake lovers to connect. Local bakers and bakeries will each bring one signature cake that represents them. Whether it’s bold flavors, a classic design, a quirky concept, or a specialty offering, each cake is a little introduction - made to be tasted. Bakers will also provide a brief description of their cake, including any allergy information, along with business cards or other materials so you can follow up later. Once the cakes are displayed, guests can purchase a cake box, enter the Cake Meet-Cute room, to cut slices from any cakes that catch their eye. Mix and match, sample widely, and discover new favorites. Afterward, you can enjoy your cake in our designated seating area or take it home to savor later. This experience is designed to make discovering local bakers easy and delicious. Whether you’re searching for a wedding cake artist, gluten-free or vegan options, fun and unexpected flavors, or a specific cake style, the Cake Meet-Cute lets you taste before you commit. It’s speed dating… but for cake. 💕🍰 Vendor Spots: Artisans, Makers, Food Purveyors - $100 "Cake Meets Cute" Event - $60
