A hot ticket in town (they sold out in two minutes!), we had the chance to check out the August edition for 90-minute access to the space in Williamsburg to meet (and sample) treats from vendors like Butter and Scotch, Snowdays, Stache of Goods, Milk & Cookies NYC, Black Tap, Cupcake Market, Rebecca’s Cake Pops, Lickety Split, Sweetface Snoballs and many, many more.

And as a sweet treat festival, there was also plenty of opportunities to take pictures such as at their bright Instagram Garden, Macy’s runway and Dylan’s Candy Bar stations on the roof where attendees took tons of pictures to capture this special event.

Founded by Miraya Berke and Liang Shi, the event featured the most unique, delicious and Instagrammable desserts from the five boroughs. After a day of sampling, snapping and soaking in the sweetest vibes, we love seeing the community that Berke and Shi have created, which is all about fun, the sweet things in life and indulging every now and again.
