“We found the expo to be a great experience for brand awareness and also generated revenue. We would absolutely do it all over again, the only thing we would change is taking more space!”
Raymond CapaldiWonderpies
“We attended the Cake Bake & Sweets Show to try and get our product out to the cake and baking industry, and create some exposure for our brand - we achieved this with a huge success! We were in touch personally with thousands of people between shows and it really took Berry Fresh to an unexpected level. We got to work with some of the most influential people in this industry including Katherine Sabbath, Jessica Pedemont and others. We will definitely be attending future events!”
Jimmy RipepiManaging Director

Let’s Hear It From Our Visitors!

The buzz of the cocktail contest was electric. I was constantly waiting for something to go wrong but the mastery was evident and the cocktail tasted amazing – and I didn’t even get to taste the winning drink!
Stefano
I wish I had half the skill of those Golden Ticket winners. Princess’ BBQ looked and smelled delicious.
Shaun
All I can say is….the gin was great, the cheese was better, the meat was perfect and I can’t wait for the next one.
Michael
It was the best experience ever.
Kendra
I loved it, I’ll definitely go again.
Samantha Burgess
The perfect day out with my budding baker and aspiring cooks.
