About Elisa Sunga: Hi, I’m Elisa – I am a home baker and gardener in the San Francisco Bay Area. Baking is an expression of creativity, an outlet for various emotions and feelings, a vehicle for art and style, a form of guided meditation, an outpouring of love and sweetness, a means for me to get my hands dirty, an artist’s blank and ever-changing canvas and palette. Let’s play, let’s bake!

About CAKE PICNIC™: CAKE PICNIC is a gathering for the love of cake, born out of a simple desire to eat a lot of cake by Elisa Sunga.

In this focused session, we’ll taste a curated selection of craft chocolate bars made specifically from Koko Kamilia cacao, exploring how different makers interpret the same source. Along the way, we’ll discuss who and what Koko Kamilia is — from its role in Tanzanian cacao to its impact on quality and flavor — while unpacking the nuances, and limitations, of the term “single origin.” Expect a lively, palate-opening experience that deepens both your tasting skills and your understanding of origin in craft chocolate.
