ZGSA Bake a Cake for Darwin's 217th Birthday

Announcement
When
February 13, 2026 03:45 pm
Where
Beaty Biodiversity Centre Atrium
Host(s)
ZGSA

We are very excited to announce the return of our annual Bake a Cake for Darwin's birthday event! 
For those who are new or have perhaps not participated previously, this event has been a long-standing annual tradition at the BRC to honour our favourite now 217 year old Aquarius, Darwin, for his incredible work.

The event will be held on Friday, February 13th in the BRC atrium. The timeline for the day of the event is as follows:

3:45pm - Bring your cakes
4:15pm - Judging
4:30pm - Cake eating free for all
5:00pm - Final awards announcement

There will be prizes available for the best cake in the categories below:
Darwin's choice
Most delicious
Most artistic
People's choice

For those interested, there is no sign-up required. All you need to do is bake a cake (we will be offering a reimbursement for cake ingredients $15/person) and bring it the day of for our judges to first taste, and everyone after to feast on. 
This will also be a cluster competition event with points awarded for participation!

For those interested in looking at some cakes from previous iterations of the event, click here.

Best,
Your ZGSA (Emma, Maya, Amy, Auguste, and Viktorija)
