From November 15 to 17, 2024, the Wels trade fair will once again be the meeting place for baking fans, craft enthusiasts and coffee lovers from all over Austria and beyond.
The annual cake fair, accompanied by the creative fair and the coffee world, invites you to a colorful mix of workshops, demonstrations and tastings. In an atmospheric environment, traditional craftsmanship and modern trends merge to create a unique experience. Here, everything revolves around enjoyment, inspiration and creative techniques that open up new horizons for both professionals and hobbyists.
Cake Fair: A paradise for baking artists and those with a sweet tooth
The cake fair in Wels offers a platform for everyone who loves baking and the art of cake decoration. In various workshops, visitors have the opportunity to learn the latest cake design techniques and learn directly from professionals such as Bettina Schliephake-Burchardt and Catrin Ferrari-Brunnenfeld, better known as "CookingCatrin". A special highlight is the "Junior Baking Star", where young confectionery talents demonstrate their skills under the watchful eye of a panel of experts. In the "Totally Regional Bakery", everything revolves around traditional Austrian baking - from handmade spelt bread to special, allergen-free recipes that are sure to delight even the health-conscious.
Another focus is the "Children's Baking World", where children can create and bake Christmas cookies together with "CookingCatrin". This interactive bakery not only promotes the little ones' craft skills, but also the joy of baking together - a tradition that unfolds its magic especially at Christmas time. The organization by Haberfellner supports this area, so that every child can take home not only joy, but also home-baked delicacies and a small gift.
Creative Fair: DIY trends, upcycling and design for every age group
The creative fair is taking place parallel to the cake fair and is aimed at anyone who wants to express themselves creatively. Visitors can learn new crafting techniques in workshops, familiarize themselves with trends in DIY and upcycling, or gather inspiration for their own projects from the wide range of materials and designs. The art and design market offers unusual products outside the mainstream and invites you to browse and shop. Accessories, fashion, jewelry and decorative elements from small and local designers are waiting to be discovered.
The tailoring market offers another attraction: As a platform for innovative tailors and creative designers, it offers sewing enthusiasts and hobby tailors a stage to present their work and exchange knowledge. Here, visitors have the opportunity to purchase handmade, unique pieces and come into direct contact with the creative people behind the products. The focus on sustainability and individuality in particular reflects the spirit of the times and makes the creative fair a hotspot for modern craft and design enthusiasts.
KaffeeWelt: A stage for coffee culture and roasting art
The Coffee World, the third trade fair in this trio, transports visitors to a world full of enjoyment with the scent of freshly roasted coffee beans. At the Roaster's Market, coffee lovers and roasting experts meet to exchange information about cultivation, roasting techniques and innovative preparation methods. From mild to intense aromas, the exhibitors offer a wide range that visitors can sample on site. A special event is the "Austria Coffee Championships" of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), in which the best baristas in the country compete against each other in disciplines such as Latte Art and Brewers Cup. The competition provides insights into the skills of the barista scene and shows the growing importance of coffee as a lifestyle product.
The Coffee World offers a wealth of information and samples not only for professionals, but also for the interested public. Anyone interested in the preparation methods and the variety of beans is in the right place at the SCA Barista Bar. Here, experienced baristas show off their skills and let visitors taste top-quality coffee - an experience that brings the diversity of coffee culture closer to them in an impressive way.
