"This Sunday (5 December, 2010), across the country and, in fact, the world, events are taking place with one purpose -- a protest against misery. From Dublin, where the cuts are going to lead to real riots in time, to London, where the students' voices have not been drowned out by the anarchist mob, people will get together to swap cakes with strangers.
That is the simple message of Cake Riot -- buns not bombs, cakes not kettling. In Kendal, home of the Mint Cake, people will come together in celebration of pure human kindness. In Kabul and New York, LA and Lowestoft, Swansea and Santa Barbara people will exchange cakes just for the hell of it....
....Cake Riot is a pure expression of what is good about the social web -- people coming together online with a shared purpose to have fun and make friends. Visit the Cake Riot website to find out more and join the Facebook Group. The London Cake Riot is this Sunday at 14.00 in Trafalgar Square with other events happening across the world at local times. Cake Riot FTW!"
