National Baking Week 2025: Celebrating the Craft and Supporting the Bakers Behind It
14–20 October 2025
National Baking Week is here, a time to celebrate the skill, dedication and creativity that make the UK’s baking industry so special. From early-morning starts to late-night clean-downs, bakers everywhere continue to bring joy to their customers through fresh, handmade products crafted with care.
But behind every successful bakery is a team managing far more than what’s seen on the counter. Rising costs, staffing challenges, compliance demands and equipment upkeep are all part of the daily mix. That’s why, at the Craft Bakers Association, we’re here to make running a bakery a little easier.
Here for the bakers behind the bakes
Your CBA membership is designed to give you confidence, clarity and community in every part of your business. Here are just a few ways you can make the most of it during National Baking Week and beyond:
1. Access expert advice when you need it
Our HR, health & safety and legal advice are included in your membership, giving you quick, reliable answers to the challenges that come with running a business.
2. Invest in your team
Training is key to growth and compliance. CBA members have access to resources and training that help you upskill staff and stay ahead of industry standards.
3. Protect your business
Breakdowns and maintenance issues can disrupt your day. With BakeCare maintenance support, members can prevent costly downtime and keep their equipment running efficiently.
4. Connect with your community
Being part of the CBA means being part of a network that understands your world. Whether it’s through events, social media or our Member of the Month features, we celebrate and share the stories of bakers across the UK.
A week to celebrate and look ahead
National Baking Week is a reminder of why the craft matters, but also why support matters too. Bakers are at the heart of every community, and together, we’re stronger.
So this week, take a moment to celebrate your hard work, share your story and connect with others who understand the passion and effort behind every bake.
The CBA is here to help your business rise, today, tomorrow and every day.
