Black Cake Day 2025

Join us for a Caribbean Christmas celebration and fundraiser hosted by Blackhurst Cultural Centre! This is our 9th annual Black Cake Day, held on the first Saturday in December every year.

This festive event will feature a joyful celebration of Caribbean Christmas traditions, music, and storytelling. With Black Cakes as our focus, we invite you to sample a variety of black cakes, each available for $2 per sample. Attendees will also be encouraged to participate in a “People’s Choice Award” to vote for the best Black Cake of the day. Voting will be done via private ballot submissions, and the winner will be announced at the event’s end.

We’ll also have a raffle with exciting prizes, so bring cash for ticket purchases! If you need cash on hand, an in-house ATM is available for your convenience (service charges apply).

Available for purchase:

• Limited supply: whole black cakes, bottles of sorrel, and chow chow

Samples at $2 each include:

• Black Cake (for the People’s Choice Competition 2025)
• Sweetbread
• Pone
• Pastels
• Ginger Beer
• Sorrel
• Ponche de Crème

Each vendor will display information about their products. Vendors offering Christmas 2025 orders will have QR codes for easy access to their services. If no QR code is provided, their product has been generously donated for event enjoyment and is unavailable for sale.

Let’s come together to celebrate the flavors and traditions that make our community so special. We look forward to sharing this wonderful event with you!

Warm regards,
Blackhurst Cultural Centre
