Local bakers gathered in Highland Park for the annual Cake Fest ROC on Saturday, featuring a variety of baked goods and culinary delights. The event took place at Highland Park from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., attracting both baking enthusiasts and community members.

“Cake Fest ROC is a celebration of local talent and creativity in baking,” said event organizer Sarah Johnson. “We aim to highlight the artistry that goes into each cake and connect our bakers with the community.”

The event included cake decorating contests, live demonstrations, and tastings from various bakers. Attendees had the opportunity to vote for their favorite cakes in several categories, including Best Decorated and Most Creative Flavor.

In addition to cakes, local vendors offered complementary products such as artisanal chocolates and gourmet coffee. The festival also featured children’s activities, including face painting and cupcake decorating stations.

Cake Fest ROC aims to promote local bakers and foster community spirit. This year marks the fourth annual event, which has grown in popularity since its inception.

In past years, the festival has helped raise funds for local charities and provided a platform for emerging bakers to showcase their skills. Organizers reported an increase in attendance this year, indicating a continued interest in local culinary events.
