The baking trend is a nation-wide phenomenon which is why the Cake & Bake Show is coming to Manchester, offering even more baking fans around the country the chance to see their favourite baking stars, take part in expert-led classes and shop for an array of baking and cake decorating equipment and delicious artisan produce.
