Cork Sugarcraft Show & Competition

We are delighted to launch our 2027 Competition and Show which will be our 15th show since forming 31 years ago.

There will be approximately 100 competitors in addition to workshops, demonstrations, trade stands and a huge collaboration by top cake artists on display as well as a collab from our own members.

There will be 18 different categories showcasing a huge range of skills in what is now the only show of its kind in Ireland, attracting visitors from all over as well as showcasing amazing talent in cake design and decorating.

Our show is very much a captive audience for cake baking and decorating and an ideal opportunity to promote yourself or your brand.  If you are a cake designer, maker, baker or cake decorator this show is for you and if this is your year to compete we have 18 different categories for you to choose from including a new TEAM category that will give two people the opportunity to work together to design and create an amazing entry. 

If you would like to be part of our show and are in a position to sponsor a category or feel your Brand would benefit from a promotional trade stand we would love to hear from you.

Will 2027 be your time to shine?

JOIN US AT THE TALBOT HOTEL, MIDLETON. P25 AX67
