Cake Night

Cake Night takes place on the last Saturday of each month at 5:30 pm.

The evening begins with a guest speaker who shares their personal experience,

strength, and hope for about 20 minutes. Next, sobriety milestones are

celebrated—from the six-month marker through every subsequent annual

anniversary.

Each honoree is introduced by a presenter, who offers brief congratulations

before presenting a cake. The recipient then shares their Experience, Strength,

and Hope in a few concise remarks. After all milestone recognitions, the group

unites in singing the Cake Night song, “I Wanna Fly” by Errol Ranville.

“I Wanna Fly” was selected as the official Cake Night anthem at the first group

conscience meeting of the How It Works Group on October 10, 1991. The song

was recorded in 1988 in Winnipeg, aligning with AA’s non‑denominational and

inclusive values.

Errol Ranville—a Canadian Métis singer-songwriter born August 1, 1953, in

Ste. Rose du Lac, Manitoba—had early success with his band C‑Weed, whose

1980 hit “Evangeline” topped the Canadian country charts. He has released

multiple albums and continues performing. His strong Indigenous heritage and

dedication to inclusive music underscore why his song remains our tradition.
