Cake International 2026: Our Favourite Highlights!
What a fantastic weekend! Cake International 2026 has come to a close, and what an incredible few days it was. From showstopping cake creations and inspiring live demonstrations to meeting talented cake decorators and catching up with familiar faces, there was so much to celebrate!
We loved welcoming visitors to the Rainbow Dust and Squires Kitchen stand, sharing our products, showcasing our latest favourites and celebrating the creativity of the cake decorating community.
If you couldn’t make it this year, or simply want to relive some of the magic, here are a few of our favourite highlights from the show.
A Royal Showstopper!
One of the biggest talking points of the show was undoubtedly the incredible life size Prince and Princess of Wales cake created by our brand ambassador and award-winning cake artist Emma Jayne.
This spectacular creation showcased just how far cake artistry can go, with attention to detail and an amazing level of craftsmanship. We were especially proud to see Rainbow Dust and Squires Kitchen products helping bring this showstopping creation to life!

Sugar Screams: Curse of the Pirate Queen
There was plenty of creativity with a spooky twist at Sugar Screams: Curse of the Pirate Queen!
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, this spectacular collaborative display brought together over 100 international cake artists to create an immersive world of pirate themed sugarcraft and edible artistry. From intricate details to larger-than-life creations, it was certainly one to remember.
Inspiring Demonstrations & Cake Theatre Magic!
The Cake International theatre was packed with inspiration throughout the weekend, with Rainbow Dust and Squires Kitchen proudly sponsoring this year’s theatre.
Visitors had the chance to watch some incredible cake artists share their skills, demonstrate techniques and showcase their creativity.
We also loved seeing our brand ambassadors sharing their talents and demonstrating just how much can be achieved with a little colour and creativity. And of course, the Battle of the Bakes brought plenty of excitement, with our talented ambassadors going head-to-head in a mystery ingredient baking challenge.
Thank You for Visiting Us!
Most importantly, we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand over the weekend. It was wonderful to meet so many passionate bakers, cake decorators, students and industry friends!
Congratulations also to Joanne H, our lucky winner of the £250 Amazon voucher in our Guess the Number of Isomalts in the Jar competition! There was a total of 2,625 isomalts in the jar, and our winner came incredibly close with a guess of 2,607 to win the prize!
"Absolutely amazing. Your company is great my daughter uses it all the time and had a lovely chat at Cake International with one of your ambassadors who gave her some wonderful advice on using lustre dust on coloured icing so I can’t wait for her to try it out on the Christmas cakes she is doing." Joanne H.
Thank you to everyone who entered.
We'd also like to say a special thank you to our talented brand ambassadors, demonstrators, collaborators and everyone who helped make this year's show such a success. Already looking forward to the next one! Until then, keep baking, keep creating and keep adding a little more colour to everything you do!
