The Recorder to host Dessert Picnic Sept. 27

The Recorder will host its inaugural Dessert Picnic, a community event bringing together home bakers, local businesses and dessert lovers from across northern Westchester on Sunday, Sept. 27, from 1 to 4 p.m. 

​The Dessert Picnic invites home bakers to share their favorite homemade desserts in a fun, picnic-style afternoon, at the Bedford Hills Memorial Park Pavilion.

Here's how it works:

— Home bakers register in advance and submit their favorite recipe, which will be compiled into a digital recipe collection for all participants after the event.

— Registration is $20 and includes the baker and guests.

— Each baker brings enough of one homemade dessert to provide approximately eight to 10 servings.

— Dessert lovers who aren’t bakers can join as well. The ticket price for non-bakers is $30.

— Every group gets a Dessert Picnic box and selects eight desserts prepared by fellow bakers.

— The Dessert Picnic will provide boxes, utensils and napkins. 

— Attendees are encouraged to bring a blanket or chairs.

In addition to the home baker exchange, professional bakers and dessert vendors will offer free samples and desserts for purchase. The event will also feature beverages for sale, entertainment and family-friendly activities.
