Abu Dhabi’s dessert scene gains a new focal point on Sunday 23 November 2025, when Cake Picnic brings what organisers describe as the city’s first dedicated celebration of cake to Breath Creative Space in Al Zeina. The Ticketsfy listing confirms a single afternoon sitting, with the event scheduled to start at 2:00 PM at the creative studio space near Al Raha Beach (children/family-friendly, suitable for couples, solo). The concept targets home bakers, pastry fans and anyone who enjoys tasting and talking about cake in a relaxed setting rather than a formal dinner. Early promotion highlights a mix of tastings, social time and curated cake experiences rather than a sit down workshop alone. The key detail is straightforward: Cake Picnic is confirmed for Sunday 23 November 2025 at 2:00 PM at Breath Creative Space in Al Zeina.
Abu Dhabi’s first dedicated cake picnic
Cake Picnic markets itself as a lifestyle event that puts cake, community and creativity at the centre of a single afternoon. Organisers position it as “Abu Dhabi’s first ever celebration of cake,” bringing together local bakers, cake artists and fans for tasting tables, styled displays and informal networking (children/family-friendly, suitable for couples, solo). Instead of a trade fair layout, the plan focuses on picnic inspired setups where guests can wander, sample slices and talk directly with makers. The regional Cake Picnic concept emphasises design and aesthetics as much as flavour, so you can expect decorative installations and plenty of photo friendly corners. Think of it as a curated indoor picnic for cake lovers rather than a traditional food market or sit down tea.
Tickets, pricing and what you receive
Ticketsfy currently lists the Abu Dhabi Cake Picnic date with ticket prices starting from 60 AED, categorised under food experiences. That starting price usually covers general entry during the 2:00 PM session, with tastings and access to installations included, while any premium add ons or boxes to take home may cost extra and sit in the “approximately” range above that level (children/family-friendly, suitable for couples, solo). Because this is a first edition for the city, demand from home bakers and content creators may be strong, especially in the days leading up to the event. It therefore makes sense to buy early rather than waiting to see if spaces remain on the day. Treat 60 AED as the approximate starting ticket price per person and secure your spot in advance if you are keen to attend.
Finding Breath Creative Space in Al Zeina
Breath Creative Space sits inside the Al Rahah and Al Zeina area near Al Raha Beach, with its address listed around the FJ25+J34 location code in Abu Dhabi. The venue works regularly as an arts and crafts studio, which means guests can expect an intimate, workshop style space rather than a huge exhibition hall (children/family-friendly, suitable for couples, solo). For those living nearby, reaching the studio on foot from surrounding residential towers and beachside paths is realistic, especially in November’s milder temperatures. Drivers coming from central Abu Dhabi typically follow Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Street into the Al Raha Beach district, then loop into Al Zeina’s internal road network and public parking zones. Parking capacity in Al Zeina can feel tight at busy times, so plan to arrive early and allow a few extra minutes to find a spot close to Breath Creative Space.
Travelling from Dubai and other emirates
Guests arriving from Dubai or other emirates should treat Cake Picnic as a relaxed half day outing and schedule their drive accordingly. From Dubai, most drivers follow E11 toward Abu Dhabi, exit for Al Raha Beach and then navigate into Al Zeina, with a typical journey from Dubai Marina taking around one hour in light traffic but longer on busy weekends (children/family-friendly, suitable for couples, solo). Leaving around midday for a 2:00 PM event usually gives enough time for fuel stops, short delays and parking. From Al Ain or the Western Region, it helps to plan a similar buffer and to factor in toll arrangements where relevant. If you travel from another emirate, avoid stacking other tight plans immediately after the event so you can return at an easy pace even if traffic builds near Al Raha Beach.
What the afternoon is likely to feel like
Inside Breath Creative Space, you can expect a friendly, social atmosphere rather than a formal tasting line or hushed gallery vibe. Home bakers and cake brands will probably showcase signature designs, offering small portions for visitors to sample while they explain flavours, textures and design choices (children/family-friendly, suitable for couples, solo). The setting should lend itself well to photography, so content creators will likely capture decorated tables, frosting details and candid social moments. Because the event runs as a single afternoon slot, the pace will feel compact but not rushed, giving most attendees time to taste, chat and revisit favourite stands. Think in terms of a cosy, creative studio filled with cake displays, conversations and a steady two to three hours of tasting rather than a quick in and out pickup visit.
Weather, clothing and practical warnings
Forecast data for Sunday 23 November 2025 in Abu Dhabi suggests warm, dry weather, with afternoon highs close to 29 or 30 degrees and evening lows dropping toward the mid twenties, along with very low chances of rain and no meaningful mud risk in paved Al Zeina. Although the event takes place indoors, you will still walk between parking, nearby cafés and the studio entrance, so breathable clothing and comfortable shoes remain wise choices (children/family-friendly, suitable for couples, solo). Because early afternoon can still feel hot in the sun, bringing a light layer for indoor air conditioning plus sunglasses and a cap for pre or post event time outside works well. Traffic around Al Raha Beach typically picks up from early afternoon into the early evening, especially on weekends, so it helps to arrive ahead of the 2:00 PM start and to expect some congestion when leaving. Any extra spending on coffee, snacks, parking or cake boxes should be treated as “approximately” priced, because nearby businesses may adjust their offers for busy weekends. Make your reservation before it is too late, arrive slightly early to secure parking, and dress for a warm outdoor walk combined with cool indoor air conditioning. According to planning notes often highlighted by the editorial team at www.few.ae, treating compact experiences like Cake Picnic as a full afternoon outing, complete with time for photos and a slow stroll along Al Zeina’s waterfront, usually turns a simple tasting session into a memorable day in Abu Dhabi’s creative food scene.
