Cake International is a specialist event for cake decorating, sugarcraft and baking, bringing together cake artists, professional bakers, decorators, suppliers and enthusiasts from around the world. Established in 1994, the organisers describe it as the world’s leading sugarcraft, cake-decorating and baking show and an essential gathering place for the global cake-decorating community.
Cake International celebrates baking skills
Competition is at the heart of the event. Cake & Bake International hosts what the organisers describe as the world’s largest and most prestigious cake decorating and baking competition, attracting professional and hobby competitors from across the globe. Entries are judged by professionally trained judges, with competitors receiving written feedback on their work.
Alongside the competitions, Cake International showcases edible artistry through large-scale installations, demonstrations and displays. Its theatres feature live demonstrations from leading names in baking and cake decorating, covering sugarcraft techniques, edible art, decorating skills and emerging design trends.
Education is another important element. Academy workshops offer hands-on learning in small classroom settings, allowing participants to develop specialist techniques with experienced cake artists.
The exhibition also provides a marketplace for products used within professional and creative baking. Visitors can discover edible products, moulds, tools and other cake-decorating supplies from specialist brands.
For the bakery industry, Cake International is particularly relevant to cake manufacturers, craft bakeries, patisseries and decorators rather than large-scale bread production. Its combination of competitions, education, suppliers and live demonstrations provides insight into the techniques, products and creative trends influencing the premium cake and celebration bakery market.
