Putting designs to your preferred cake is not a joke. It takes time, talent, much more passion of setting up a beautiful art.

For now, many men and women embraced baking as a hobby, a business, or a therapy.

Indeed Cake Fiesta Manila did not only bring all the best bakers, decorators, exhibitors in the country and Asia, but also it became a venue and an instrument to lift the industry of Cake Decorating.

Congrats, Team MCDS! RGV
