What Happened at the 2026 Cake War in Loveland, Colorado?

Have you ever had a food fight before? How many times, growing up, did you dream about throwing food at someone but were scared of the consequences or having to clean it up afterward? Did you ever dream about taking a cake and slamming it into someone's face, covering them in frosting? This past weekend, people in Loveland, Colorado, gathered to throw cake at each other, and if you weren't there, you missed out on a fun time.

Cake War 2026 in Loveland

This past Saturday, August 21, the 3rd annual Cake War took place in Loveland at KROH Park. The event was free, and the only thing they asked you to do was to bring a cake or cupcakes of your own and to sign a waiver before the event. The event was fun for all the participants, and the ages varied from very young to those on the older side. In the end, everyone had fun, a birthday was celebrated by one participant, and lots of frosting and cake ended up on people, on clothes, and even in some places where frosting and cake shouldn't be. Most importantly, nobody got hurt, everyone had fun, and memories were created that will last a lifetime. If you missed the event, you can watch the video above to see some of what you missed.

The cake war was started by twins Arryk and Alaska back on Father's Day in 2024 and originally had 15 people participating. In 2025, the event grew to 42 participants, and this past weekend there were over 50 people throwing cake at each other in the park. The event is growing, and the hope is that next year there will be even more people, more cakes, and perhaps a potential sponsor. It is a great way to meet new people in the community, as nothing brings people closer than smashing a cake in their face or throwing cupcakes at someone you met minutes before. There are discussions to hold potentially two events per year moving forward, but that is yet to be determined.
