What is the Bass Cake? On the surface, it looks to be a colorful, birthday cake piñata on a stick with lights. The original goal was to have a unique totem in the sky, so members of music festivals could find others more easily.  However, it goes way beyond that. The Bass Cake brings people together from around the US and allows people to connect with one another. When the Bass Cake is up in the sky, people follow in a collective. Lifelong friendships and memories are created whenever the Bass Cake is around. Just remember - If your lost, look for the cake!
