At Cake Hoopla, we make it easy to host a party that leaves guests talking about it for weeks. Here's how to plan the ultimate DIY cake-decorating experience that’s both stress-free and unforgettable.

Step 3: Choose the Extras

Cake Hoopla parties come with everything you need: pre-baked cakes or cupcakes, frosting in a variety of colors, sprinkles, and all the tools necessary to create edible masterpieces. There's no need to bring anything extra! But you're still welcome to bring non-alcoholic drinks and non-cake snacks for your guests. We got you covered with the cake and beer and wine.
