Fans of The Great British Bake Off and keen bakers will be excited to hear that a new cake show is coming to Scotland.
After two successful years in London and Manchester, the Cake & Bake Show sponsored by NEFF are packing up their whisks, mixing bowls, baking tins and heading to Scotland for the first time ever – and as part of the official Cake and Bake Blogging Team, I’ll be keeping you up to date with show news and giving you the opportunity to win tickets to this great show.
This exciting show, run by events management company Media 10, organisers of Ideal Home Show Scotland, will be in Edinburgh’s Royal Highland Centre from the 30th – 1st November, and set to attract over 18,000 visitors.
The introduction of the show couldn’t be better timed. It’s Scotland’s Year of Food and Drink 2015 and the best of the country’s baking industry will be brought together under one roof for a show filled with live demonstrations, bake offs, interactive features and exciting competitions.
The Cake & Bake Show also reflects the rising popularity of TV show Great British Bake Off and it has broken new ground by leading the industry in becoming the first event dedicated to the world of cakes, breads and the art of baking.
Cake & Bake Show are ensuring they have all the ingredients covered by bringing a host of celebrities to Scotland during the three day event.
