Calling all Creatives

We're excited to share three new workshops for July to spark creativity, level up your skills, and keep you cool indoors when summer heat is at its peak. (And, yes, our new summer seasonals (https://cakebloom.com/pages/copy-of-spring-menu) will be along for sampling at each and every one.)

P.S. We've got one more special event in-store for little ones.
Details at the very bottom...

Still Life Cake Painting

Have your cake and paint it, too! Our spring event was so popular,

we've added another painting workshop with local artist, Gabi Sabri (https://www.gabriellesabri.com/) , featuring our new summer seasonals!
July 12th, 3-5 pm

Intro to Gouache

We're thrilled to welcome local artist, Sarah Miller, (https://www.sarahmillerfineart.com/shop) for a seasonally-inspired session of gouache techniques spotlighting the best of summer's bounty. We'll have peaches, blueberries, fresh herbs and more for you to create a stunning keepsake to take home, along with new skills.

Wednesday, July 22nd, 5-6:30 pm

Two-Tier Microwedding Cake Class

Designed for hobby bakers looking to level up their skills, our summer cake class will offer an in-depth afternoon of learning with our Head Baker, Susan Sweeney.

Weekly Happenings at Cake Bloom!

Hi cake lovers,

It's been a *very* busy month over here with weddings, Mother's Day and Graduation cakes galore, and we're looking forward to slowing down this summer to reset and reconnect with dear ones.

And we hope you'll do the same, preferably over cake and tea, or at one of our upcoming workshops. (New offerings coming soon...)

Until then, we have plenty of activities, treats and tastings every week for you to join us for a solo moment of joy or with your crew.

See what's coming up this week below (and don't miss our handy list of parking tips at the very bottom;)

This Week (and beyond) at Cake Bloom

And for our lunchtime crowd, our famous jumbo popovers, grilled popover sandwiches, and mac'n'cheese are available every week.

Call us for a reservation (434-328-8130) or simply walk in.

WHERE TO PARK?

Parking can be lean during peak lunchtime hours, roughly 11 am - 2 pm, (sorry!), but space rotate quickly. If you don't have luck in our upper lot, here are our tips:

OUR LOT - If you see a spot open in the upper lot in front of our location, you're welcome to park and come in for tea; our next door neighbors are very friendly.

10th STREET - There are 2-hour spaces along 10th Street across from the entrance of our complex.

THE FLATS PARKING GARAGE - 852 W Main about a half block from our location- This lot has "retail" spots available for short term parking; we cannot be held responsible for towing, but have had 100% success with customers and staff parking here for during the day.

DAIRY MARKET PARKING - 946 Grady Avenue, Charlottesville, VA. 200 spots are provided and the first hour is free. Payment can be completed through the ParkMobile app.

WEST STREET - this street is just south of Dairy Market and runs perpendicular to 10th street. There is street parking available here.

LEE STREET GARAGE - .4 miles from our location, the Lee Street garage across from UVA hospital

Thank you so much for your overwhelming support of our new spot and continued support of our business. You are the reason we're here, and we couldn't be more grateful.
