Joy the Baker Picnic: Rooftop and Cupcakes
Written by joythebaker on July 24, 2009 – 3:32 am -
A few weeks ago I threw a little idea out into the world: a Joy the Baker picnic.
Well… holy heck! We’re doing it!
Joy the Baker is throwing a rooftop cupcake party smack dab in the middle of gorgeous downtown Los Angeles. Consider it a room with a view (the view pictured above silly!)… and no roof and tons of cupcakes and sweet tea.
Sunday August 23rd from 2pm until 7pm. Downtown Los Angeles.
This event is not a pot luck situation. It’s more of a eat-all-the-Joy-the-Baker-cupcakes-you-can situation.
If you’d like to attend, send an email to joythebakerpicnic (at) gmail (dot) com
I’ll email you the fancypants invitation late next week.
Now… a girl can only make so may cupcakes. In the event that I have to limit the guest list, invitations will go out on a first come, first serve basis. Get your emails in!
Not in Los Angeles? Don’t fret! I have plans for you to play along wherever you live. You might call it a virtual picnic! Stay tuned for that!
I want to see your shining faces!

a virtual picnic! what fun! i’m in! …thanks for thinking of peeps not in l.a. area!
I just found your blog and I am hooked! What a great idea for a virtual picnic
Can’t wait to see what it’s going to be like 
I agree with Linda Y – thanks for thinking of all of us non-LA people too! Looking forward to seeing pictures of the event, which will no doubt be a blast
Oh dang… an all-you-can-eat cupcake picnic? Are you serious? Please move to Zurich! Pleeeeeeeease!
Virtual picnic? Can’t wait. I’ve marked the date in my calendar… Does it come with virtual calories or real ones?
I’m looking forward to the virtual Joy the Baker picnic – no doubt it will be a blast
What a fabulous idea!
ohhhh I would like to go there. But i live in Spain……too far away. No problem. I will be waiting for the photos and i will make my own cupcakes……chocolate chocolate of course. Have a nice day!!!!
Well I’m in on the virtual front… and I *can* contribute a totally awesome hybrid Los Angeleno/Australian accent…

So sad that you don’t live in Chicago…
Yea!! Glad to hear that even though I am far away that I will not miss out on all the cupcake fun!!!
“Joy the Baker” traveling picnic to fabulous US Cities .. . maybe next year??
So great of u to include us East Coast folk, though I long to be at the “real” picnic, not the virtual one! I am in via the computer though! Keep me posted please! thanks for hosting!!
Damn. I can’t believe my little Los Angeles homebody butt won’t be here that weekend. I’ll be celebrating with you virtually in San Francisco!
Ok, it’s in my calendar: Sunday 11 pm to Monday 4 pm
I guess I’ll be picknicking a little earlier than you… but it seems there’s a lot of European people here, so at least we’ll be celebrating on more or less the same time
I love this. I’m originally from LA, now in Atlanta and so sad I won’t be there for this undoubtedly awesome event. I’ll be sure to check in virtually but do you think you can maybe overnight some cupcakes to me
buuuu ! I would looove to fly there, seriously I would if it wasn’t for work
have fun people !!! eat lots of good stuff !
cheers from toronto !
I’m really looking forward to the virtual picnic, whatever it may be that you have in mind!
sounds from a few of the other people above that you will need to come to Europe – visit Ireland – I will lend you my back garden for the picnic!
I’ll see you at the virtual picnic….al least you could forget the umbrella for this one! Here (Ireland) it’s raining dogs and cats!! Thanks to think about the non-Us Joy the baker fans!!
Martina
Will there be virtual cupcakes at the virtual picnic? If so, sign me up!
I guess I’ll have to settle for the virtual picnic!!! What a fabulous idea! (:
Ooooh, virtual picnic! Us NYC folks should get together, yeah?
Yay! Can’t wait!
Oh, hey, that looks like the view from my rooftop!
Wanna drive those cupcakes to Vegas?
Oh man, I really wanted to take the trip down to So Cal for this to meet you and scarf your baked goods but I have a prior engagement that weekend
I hope you’ll make this an annual event!

Woo hoo! A virtual picninc! I will be celebrating in South Florida!
Cool! I’ll be joining in via Belfast, Northern Ireland
woooow, this is too much fun! Not in the LA area, still west coast but rather far up from where you are, across the border too.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Too bad I can’t be there ! But I’m very curious about your virtual picnic … Let me know

I will totally be there in person. Yay for living in Southern California.
Oh, would I ever be there, if I could.
Here in the midwest, but I have it on my calendar, virtual cupcake in hand.
New to your website, stayed up till 1 AM last night gobbling it up. You really got something going on here, I love it!!
What you are is charming…
SO excited for the virtual picnic! Thanks for keeping the non-socal people included!
I grew up in SoCal, but no longer live there, so I will be joining in on the virtual picnic! Wish I were there to eat lunch at Phillipe’s and then join you for a cupcake!
I so wish I lived anywhere near L.A.! Looking forward to taking part virtually though!
How about throwing a couple of cupcakes in the mail and sending them to SLC Utah? I looove Joy the Baker and I wish I could be at a roof-top party, darn it. Thanks for everything you do for us!!
How about make it KL? Cupcakes all you can eat = bliss!
i am excited about the virtual option as i am in jacksonville!!!
If it is virtual, then I would love to join you, too!
Count me in for the virtual picnic too please! I can’t wait
Really wish this was in NC!!!! So fun!!!
