If you’re an employer, HR manager, or team leader looking to plan your next teambuilding event in the Portland area, you’ve probably seen the usual suspects: axe throwing, bowling, escape rooms, and sip-and-paint nights. But if you’re looking for something that’s hands-on, social, and a little sweeter, Cake Hoopla has the perfect solution: cake/cupcake decorating!
Located just 15 minutes from downtown Portland, right off I-5 in Tigard, Cake Hoopla offers cake and cupcake-decorating experiences that are unlike anything else in the local corporate event scene.
Why Cake Decorating is a Better Teambuilding Activity
Teambuilding activities work best when they’re fun, low-pressure, and spark real connection, and that’s exactly what we do at Cake Hoopla. Here’s why a decorating session at Cake Hoopla hits the sweet spot:
1. It’s Playful, Not Awkward
No trust falls. No uncomfortable icebreakers. Just frosting, sprinkles, and a whole lot of fun. Whether your team is competitive or collaborative, everyone can relax and enjoy the creative process.
2. It’s Unique (and Tasty)
Unlike a painting you’ll forget in your trunk for weeks, you leave Cake Hoopla with something you actually want: a delicious, decorated dessert you mastered yourself. It’s hands-on fun, with an edible reward at the end.
3. We Sell Beer & Wine
Because sometimes creativity flows better with a little bubbly. We’re one of the few decorating studios in the country with a beer and wine license—perfect for after-work bonding or happy hour events.
4. It’s Easy to Get Here
We’re located just off I-5 in Tigard, with quick and easy access from downtown Portland, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, and beyond. No winding detours or complicated directions.
5. No Cleanup Required
We handle all the setup, materials, and cleanup. You just show up, decorate, have a blast, and leave with something sweet.
Perfect for:
- Company celebrations
- Staff-appreciation events
- Department off-sites
- Client entertainment
- Administrative Professionals Day
- Holiday parties and more
