Baker's Dozen
Melbourne's most-loved bakers and pastry icons are coming together for a huge pop-up bake shop at Fed Square.
Overview
Imagine a two-day bake sale stocked with a heaving array of treats from some of the city's best-loved bakers, tart masters and pastry icons. Well, that's exactly what's in store for you when the latest edition of Baker's Dozen takes over Fed Square as part of the 2025 Melbourne Food & Wine Festival.
From Saturday, March 29 to Sunday, March 30, you're invited to sink your sweet tooth into a one-stop pop-up shop showcasing mouthwatering wares from a lineup of local legends. Expect everything from buns and babka to croissants and knots — with plenty of brand new exclusive creations in the mix too.
Among the culinary artists showing off their goods from 10am each day, you'll find Falco, Baker Bleu, Kudo, Monforte, Tarts Anon, The Flour and All Are Welcome, to name a few. Some of Melbourne's best bakeries and cake shops are in this incredible lineup for the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival. And it's the only time you can hit them all up in one spot – no need to spend the entire weekend tracing all over the city to get your favourite sweet treats.
During the same two days, the festival will be running a pop-up hot cross bun bar, an electoral vote to choose the best scone flavour and an electrolyte-inducing stall serving coconut-infused refreshments, from tropical smoothies to froyo and coffee foams. Plus, some of the city's most beloved food and drink personalities will present fascinating culinary demonstrations for your entertainment.
