The Great GoBake Cake Expo

GoBake Poster
GoBake are proud to present New Zealand’s first ever The Great GoBake Cake Expo!
The cake expo is part of the New Zealand Scrapbooking, Craft & Cake Expo (SENZ) for 2014.  SENZ  has been part of the crafting calendar in NZ since 2003 and it brings together Cardmakers, Scrapbookers, Stampers, Mixed Media Artists, Knitters, Beaders, Quilters and now Cake Decorators... of all ages, for a weekend of shopping, competitions, demos, classes, displays and socialising.  This year the event will be running from July 4th – 6th at the Ellerslie Event Centre in Auckland, 9.30am to 5pm daily.
If you love Baking and Cake Decorating, The Great GoBake Cake Expo is perfect for you!  GoBake and Satin Ice along with leading retailers, cake artists and brands have collaborated to bring you exhibitors, cake decorating competitions, classes and work shops, demonstrations and a “Live Cake Off” to the 2014 SENZ Craft Expo.  It should be a fun, exciting and enjoyable event suitable for the beginner to the expert Baker and Cake Decorator!

This exciting competition offers categories across all Cake Decorating skill levels including Junior, Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced.  All the cakes will be on display at the expo and there’s over $5,000 in prizes to give away (including cake supplies, vouchers and more).  Entries for the competition are open until June 30th – so pop on over to the GoBake site and register if you are interested.

    - Who you would gift the tickets to:

    I would gift the tickets to my sister in law as she has recently found her love for baking. Having a career in IT, she bakes for some downtime and whenever I need a favour! I think she would really benefit from this expo as she has always wanted to get some professional advice and assistance, but has never had the time!

  4. Thanks for the giveaway - I am a baking & craft fan and am planning on a day trip to Auckland to attend anyway so to win the tickets would be "the icing on the cake"
