Bakery Fair’s unmatched reach — down to provinces and every region—makes it the ideal venue to nurture close-knit industry relationships,” Ah said. “This event isn’t just an exhibition; it’s a catalyst for economic vitality, uniting pioneers and communities to create a sweeter, brighter future for all.”

Competitors can also win cash prizes, overseas training, and trips to top global baking institutes.

In addition to the competitions, world-class chefs will take the Main Stage and 360-degree Stage to showcase the latest baking techniques and trends, while exhibitors will unveil cutting-edge tools and innovations.

Open to both industry professionals and baking enthusiasts, Bakery Fair 2025 offers a lineup of engaging activities, including thrilling competitions such as the fast-paced Donut Dash and the Cake My Day event, where bakers create wildlife-inspired edible masterpieces.

Trend-focused showcases will highlight sustainable baking initiatives in the World Water Day Cake Decorating Competition and the American Croissant Challenge. At the same time, networking opportunities will allow attendees to connect with key industry leaders, suppliers, and peers to foster new business prospects.

Beyond business, Bakery Fair 2025 serves as a cultural and community event, highlighting the artistry and dedication of Filipino bakers. “Just as Tikoy binds families, this event unites our industry in harmony and progress,” Ah said.
