Free to Attend

A live showcase of the next generation of baking and pastry excellence

Bake Skills Australia returned to the show floor with a powerful showcase of technical skill, creativity, and rising talent in the baking and pastry world.

Held live across four days, the competition featured the National Pastry Chef Championship and the National Baking Championships — two headline events where Australia’s most promising young pastry chefs and bakers put their skills to the test in a high-pressure, high-reward environment.

With a proud 30-year legacy, Bake Skills Australia remained dedicated to promoting education, quality, and innovation in the industry. These competitions provided a national stage for emerging bakers to shine, gain recognition, and connect with the broader industry.

Backed by industry leaders and sponsors, Bake Skills was more than just a competition — it was a launchpad for the next generation of talent driving Australia’s baking industry forward.
