East London, 7 July 2026: Vincent Park will bring a sprinkle of creativity to the July school holidays with The Cupcake Factory: The Little Bakers Workshop, a hands-on baking and decorating experience designed especially for children. Taking place daily until Saturday 18 July in the Foschini Court, the activation will invite young visitors to decorate sweet treats, learn new skills and enjoy a memorable holiday activity with family and friends.
Blending creativity, learning and play, The Cupcake Factory has been designed to give children a safe, guided and entertaining environment where they can decorate cupcakes, cookies and mini cakes before taking their delicious creations home.
A Creative Experience for Young Bakers
The workshop will run daily during the school holiday period, with two sessions available each day from 11:00 to 12:30 and 13:00 to 15:00. Each session will accommodate up to 24 children, creating an intimate and engaging environment for little bakers to experiment, decorate and have fun.
To keep the experience fresh and encourage repeat visits, the activation will feature rotating daily themes. Children can look forward to decorating cupcakes inspired by favourite animals, soccer and World Cup-themed creations, cartoon-inspired designs, mini cake decorating masterclasses and icing mixing lessons, alongside seasonal baking fun.
Baking Kindness Into Every Creation
Adding a meaningful community element to the experience, each participating child will receive two cupcakes to decorate. One cupcake will be theirs to enjoy and take home, while the second will be donated to bring joy to children in need.
Cupcakes donated during the activation will be collected daily and delivered to a local children’s home, charity organisation or hospital, helping to teach young participants the importance of kindness, generosity and giving back through a simple but meaningful gesture.
“The Cupcake Factory has been created to give families something fun and memorable to enjoy together during the school holidays, while also encouraging creativity and kindness,” said centre manager – name TBC. “We hope children leave not only proud of what they have made, but excited by the opportunity to brighten someone else’s day too.”
Tickets for The Cupcake Factory: The Little Bakers Workshop are available through Quicket. Families are encouraged to book early as space is limited.
