Thanks to the popularity of The Great British Bake Off, it seems like everyone in the country is popping on an apron and having a bash at British baking.
And nothing illustrates this more than April’s Cake & Bake Show, where thousands of avid baking fans showed up to learn from the masters.
We recently gave tickets away for the show, which took place at Manchester Central not too far from our designer kitchen showroom in Manchester, after running our Favourite Kitchen Memories Competition.
The show included everything from celebrity demos, and live competitions to tasty treats and all the baking supplies and equipment you’d ever need.
Baking professionals networked and learnt about all the latest trends in the industry. Visitors loved the artisan bakers, chocolatiers and cake makers displaying their wares. Families were baking together, trying their hands at cake decorating and getting inspired by the fun kitchen demos.
Competition winner Catherine Spendlove told us how she found it:
“The show was packed full of baking companies, suppliers, other foodie related firms, things to buy, things to taste, inspiration and the finest baking brains in the land.
“What I liked particularly about The Cake & Bake Show was that, although it was busy, it felt very relaxed and friendly. The exhibitors were happy and engaging. I was also very impressed by the giant ginger bread house.”
Amy Yates, another Kitchen Design Centre winner, also thought the show was a huge hit…
“I loved every minute of it,” she said. “There was so much to do and see at the show! It was a great day.”
CONTEMPORARY ELEGANCE FOR A PERIOD HOME
When Zee and Adam decided to transform their kitchen, they explored several companies before selecting Kitchen Design Centre in Barrowford.
Contemporary elegance for a period home
It was Simon Thomas, the Showroom Manager, who stood out with his exceptional design expertise and ability to offer creative, tailored solutions.
The couple were particularly impressed by the Barrowford showroom, liking its large size and the variety of stunning displays. They liked the main flagship display and it inspired their final design, as they adopted many features including the large island and Graphite and Taupe colour scheme.
Seeking a modern update to their traditional kitchen, Zee and Adam tasked Simon with reimagining the space while respecting the period property’s original features. To achieve their vision, they decided to remove a wall and merge two rooms, creating a spacious, open-plan kitchen and living area that now spans the length of their home.

A STUNNING CLASSICAL KITCHEN FOR A LUXURY APARTMENT
When Karen and Peter downsized from their farm, they opted for a luxurious apartment in a historic hall in Holmfirth, Yorkshire. For their dream kitchen, they turned to Lauren Couperthwaite at Kitchen Design Centre, Housing Units, Failsworth.
Initially considering a local bespoke kitchen company, Karen found they couldn’t match the extensive product range and expert design skills of Kitchen Design Centre.
The brief was to celebrate the apartment’s grand architectural features—high ceilings, natural light, and intricate coving—while crafting a kitchen that blended seamlessly with the home’s traditional aesthetic. Lauren’s choice of a pale sage green ash-effect eucalyptus finish brought timeless charm, perfectly paired with classic handles.
