The Cake and Bake Show Manchester

I clearly don't have enough cake in my life as it seems I'm now resorting to spending my free time searching out cake and attending cake shows like the Cake and Bake Show!

Actually, that's a bit misleading. I attended the Cake and Bake show in Manchester this past weekend to represent my employer, Sweet Success Ltd, and check out the amazing CakeBomb team and see how they had brought some of our cakes, ganache and chocolate sugarpaste to life. And I wasn't disappointed!

This was my first Cake and Bake Show, but I regularly attend Cake International in Birmingham so I was really interested to see how the show differs as I've heard very mixed reviews.

I wish I'd bought one of these Billingtons tins now!

The Manchester venue is really easy to find and I got a direct train from Nottingham which only had a 5min walk to the venue at the other end. Getting into the show was very easy with no big queues and even though the venue was very busy with attendees, it didn't feel too claustrophobic and you could freely walk around the stalls.
