Dessert Goals: Tickets on sale for festival's sweet return

By Nicole Levy   nicole.levy@amny.com January 31, 2018

Get ready to double-fist doughnuts and cake pops for almost two hours straight.

A limited number of early-bird tickets for the massively popular Dessert Goals festival, returning to New York City for a spring edition in March, go on sale at noon Wednesday, Jan. 31, for $12 on thefestival's website.

Launched as a two-day event by friends Liang Shi and Miraya Berke in 2016, this year will be the first time the bi-coastal sweets fest will span two weekends. This is the also first edition to feature a theme — "spring disco" — and attendees are encouraged to dress appropriately. 

Tickets typically sell out in less than an hour, so you'll definitely want to buy yours during your lunch break. If you miss this round, you'll get a second chance to buy a general admission ticket ($17) on Feb. 13. (Just keep in mind that a ticket grants access, but you'll need to bring extra cash for the goods inside.)

The event roster curated by Shi and Berke features a few top sellers from previous editions — Mojo Mousse by Johan, Sugar Monster Sweets, Mochi Doki, Brooklyn Floss (cotton candy) and Rebecca's Cake Pops — as well as newcomers Tiny Kitchen Treats (cookies), Pop Cake Shop and Supermoon Bakery, a new Lower East Side shop that will feature croissant-muffin hybrids (a.k.a cruffins), croissants and doughnuts in flavors exclusive to the festival.

Dessert Goals is moving operations from Brooklyn to Queens, setting up at Sound River Studios in Long Island City. The new space has twice the capacity of the old one at Dobbin Street, according to a news release. Expect plenty of photo-worthy installations like last summer's rainbow cotton candy wall and unicorn swim ring.

The spring festival will take place on March 17, 18, 24 and 25. That offers two months to practice your Instagram photo skills (and possibly invest in a portable LED camera light).

A general admission ticket grants you one and a half hours access to the sweets available for purchase.

The $35 "extra sugar rush" ticket gets you an extra half hour and sends you home with a swag-filled tote bag.

New York City’s happiest food festival Dessert Goals is upping the sweet factor for its first 2018 edition — and you might even score a ticket this time.

The Spring 2018 edition of Dessert Goals, the Instagram-friendliest showcase for the city’s prettiest cakes, crepes, ice creams and cookies, will stretch to two weekends for the first time: March 17-18 and 24-25.

They’re also moving from Brooklyn to Sound River Studios in Long Island City, which has twice the space for all the new dessert-focused restaurants and businesses cropping up to satisfy the demand for Instagram fodder.

New vendors include Supermoon Bakehouse with its out-of-this-world pastries, adorable frosted cookies from Tiny Kitchen Treats and push-pop cakes by P.O.P. Cake Shop. Also bringing her cake game is New York Cake Show winner Ashley Holt’s Sugar Monster Sweets.

They're also adding a theme for the first time: Spring Disco, so come dressed in Hawaiian florals, Saturday Night Fever dancefloor duds and patterned bellbottoms.

Despite always selling out its tickets within an hour, Dessert Goals has actually lowered the price of entry (treats are pay-as-you-go) from $20 to $12 for early birds (on sale Jan. 31 at 9 a.m.) and $17 for general admission (on sale Feb. 13).

Both get you 90 minutes to browse, snap and taste all the treats that catch your eye. That’s right, all of them — Dessert Goals only sells a limited number of tickets so the event is never crowded, vendors don’t run out, and attendees can enjoy themselves in the Instagram Garden and photography panels instead of spending the day standing in line. 

If you want to be sure to get in a few additional bites, an Extra Sugar Rush tier has been added, which gets you two hours at the event and a goodie bag ($35).

Because dessert is always a good idea, Dessert Goals is back for our fourth fest in NYC! Enjoy a curated selection of the very best desserts in New York, this time with DOUBLE the tickets on back-to-back weekends! 

Come see us at our final Valentine's day pop up!

If you're like us and you waited, I mean got busy, until the last minute, then come on by and pick up something perfect for your loved ones.

We will have the cutest cookie sets for young and old and enough variation so that your recipient will feel like their set was made just for them :)

Just when you thought New York couldn't get any cooler, we get a call to be a part of this insanely unique event. Come see me and Ashley (Sugar Monster Sweets) at our booth- guaranteed to be filled with Victorian and Gothic edible yummies to satisfy your eyeballs and tastebuds. We are already planning our Victorian ensembles. Can't wait to see you all there!

The small burial ground in Manhattan's East Village, often called the Second Avenue Cemetery, is a tucked away oasis frozen in 19th century beauty. Enter its hidden splendor and enjoy a trip back in time with absinthe-tastings, exotic birds, stereoscopic viewings, croquet, traditional parlour games, and other eccentric wonders from the past.

Be serenaded by the music of traditional 19th century instruments and technologies as you lap up Springtime drinks and savory pies. Take a Victorian nature workshop with the Evolution Store and a talk and tasting by absinthe connoisseur and author of Absinthe Antiques: A Collection from la Belle Époque, Scott MacDonald.

Explore the history of Marble Cemetery through self-guided investigation and celebrate the wondrous at this immersive highlight of our NYC Obscura Day line-up!

Check out our full lineup of amazing adventures taking place all around the world on Obscura Day, our annual celebration of discovery!

Come check us out at the Williamsburg location of Artist and Fleas where we will have our cookie boxes and sprinkles and little cookie bites for you to try, because tasting is believing. 

During this event market shoppers will follow a "snack trail" through the market and sample a wide selection of nibbles and bites along the way before voting for their favorites.

So shop, nibble and repeat. Sounds like a perfect weekend activity to me.
