The Filipino Chinese Bakery Association, Inc. (FCBAI) announced a landmark event poised to elevate the baking industry through Bakery Fair 2025.

Slated at the World Trade Center Manila on March 6-8, this premier exhibition promises to blend tradition with cutting-edge innovation, fostering growth and unity across the Philippines’ vibrant baking sector.  

Renowned as the industry’s most trusted platform, Bakery Fair has consistently propelled businesses forward by connecting exhibitors and suppliers with bakery owners and workers nationwide. 

“Bakery Fair’s unmatched reach—down to provinces and every region—makes it the ideal venue to nurture close-knit industry relationships,” emphasized Chris Ah, President of FCBAI. “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.”  

Bakery Fair 2025 will dazzle attendees with three days of high-stakes competitions, immersive demos, and networking opportunities:  

• The Baker’s Cup: Witness the nation’s top talents vie for glory in categories like “Flour Masters: Bread Baking Competition” and “The Cake Illusion: Hyper-Realistic Cake Art Competition.”  The “Grand Regal Tiers Wedding Cake Display Competition”  offers a jaw-dropping PHP150,000 Grand Prize.  

• Global opportunities: Competitors stand to win cash prizes, international training, and trips to elite baking institutes.  

• Live interactive demos: Learn from world-class chefs on the Main Stage and 360° Stage, while exhibitor booths unveil the latest tools and techniques.  

From artisan bakers to pastry enthusiasts, Bakery Fair 2025 offers something for everyone: 

• Showdowns: Speed through the “Donut Dash” or marvel at wildlife-inspired masterpieces in “Cake My Day.”

• Trendsetting innovations: Explore sustainable practices in the “World Water Day Cake Decorating Competition”  or master the “American Croissant Challenge.”

• Networking goldmine: Connect with industry leaders, suppliers, and peers to spark new opportunities.  

Open to the public, Bakery Fair 2025 invites everyone to experience the artistry and passion behind the Philippines’ baking renaissance. “Just as Tikoy binds families, this event unites our industry in harmony and progress,” added Ah.
