Who doesn’t love a good cake? We know we do. Which is why we’ll be heading to Expo City Dubai this year for The Festival of Cake. Organised in collaboration with TGP International, the festival will run from November 28 to December 2 and centre around sweets and pastries from across the world.
The five-day event will bring together amateur bakers, celebrity chefs, families, and cake lovers. It will feature bake-offs, dining experiences, celebrity chef appearances, baking and cake-themed activities, a giant sprinkles pool, entertainment, and competitions.
With renowned names already confirmed—including Canadian baking sensation and TV host Anna Olson; Claire Clark MBE, a master pâtissier recognised as one of the world’s top pastry chefs; Kimberly Lin, formerly of Claridge’s and Dominique Ansel Bakery; and Markus Bohr of Harrods—the event is set to be the region’s largest pastry and confectionery celebration.
Amna Abulhoul, Executive Creative Director of Entertainment and Experiences at Expo City Dubai, said: “We are thrilled to launch our very own Festival of Cake. This festival is more than a celebration of dessert—it is a tribute to artistry, precision, and beauty. From the careful selection of ingredients to the intricate designs that transform cakes into edible masterpieces, it promises a feast for both the eyes and the palate.”
Simon Wright, Founder of TGP International, commented: “As a global 360° hospitality agency, we constantly strive to create new and exciting F&B ventures that lead to unforgettable experiences for our customers. Our partnership with Expo City Dubai has allowed us to take our creativity and offerings to the next level. The Festival of Cake, with its diverse activities and strong international presence, is a testament to this successful collaboration, enabling us to bring a star-studded line-up of chefs and brands to the region.”
Tickets will be on sale in September 2025.
