My Cake in Friedrichshafen is a celebration for everyone who loves baking – and sees it as more than just a hobby. Whether you are a hobby baker, cake artist, pastry chef, or have a sweet tooth: this sweet trade fair is all about cakes, cupcakes, pralines, cake design, baking techniques, and enjoyment. Set against the charming backdrop of the Lake Constance region, My Cake offers a unique mix of trade fair, hands-on event, and show stage for sweet creativity. Numerous exhibitors from Germany and abroad showcase products, tools, and ingredients for creative baking and confectionery design – complemented by competitions, workshops, tastings, and a marketplace full of ideas. The fair has become a regular meeting place for the scene and offers inspiration for all tastes.
A central element of the trade fair is the large product exhibition. Here, visitors will find everything their hearts desire: baking tins, rolled fondant, modeling tools, airbrush systems, piping nozzles, cookie cutters, stencils, food coloring, edible decorations, edible gold leaf – in short: everything you need for the perfect cake. Leading suppliers of cake accessories, specialty shops, and start-ups showcase new products, give tips on how to use them, and often offer their products for immediate purchase. Kitchen appliances and technical aids for professional baking – from food processors to precision ovens – are also represented.
My Cake is not just a showcase, but above all an experience platform. In numerous workshops and demonstrations, professionals and well-known cake designers provide insights into their craft. Visitors can try their hand at modeling sugar flowers, piping royal icing, making pralines, or airbrush design. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced baker, everyone will find the right format to learn new techniques or refine their own skills. Many courses are quickly booked up, which speaks for their high quality and the great interest they generate.
One of the highlights of the fair are the cake competitions: visitors marvel at detailed cake artworks, from realistic sculptures and floral masterpieces to themed worlds such as fantasy or vintage. A jury of experts evaluates the entries based on technique, aesthetics, and originality – and the audience votes enthusiastically. The competitions offer a stage for both young talents and professionals – often it is the most extraordinary ideas and lovingly crafted details that linger in the memory.
My Cake is also a trend barometer for the world of sweets: vegan baked goods, reduced-sugar alternatives, gluten-free flours, exotic flavors, and new taste combinations are presented and sampled here. Ingredients from molecular cuisine and natural colorings are also gaining in importance. More and more suppliers are focusing on sustainability and regionality—for example, with organic ingredients, reusable accessories, or innovative packaging solutions.
