Cake artistry has no borders. Through WCAA, we want artists from every part of the world to feel that their creativity has a place on the global stage.”— Mujuthaba Abdulla, Founder & Executive Chairman, World Cake Artistry AwardsFrom its beginnings in the Maldives to its growing presence across dozens of countries, Abdulla’s vision is centered on building international relationships while creating greater visibility for cake artists, pastry professionals and the wider creative food industry.FROM THE MALDIVES TO THE WORLDThe inaugural World Cake Artistry Awards was held at Kurumba Maldives on 12 February 2026, marking the beginning of WCAA’s international journey.The first edition attracted 834 nominations representing 38 countries, with approximately 240 finalists and 65 awards, establishing a foundation for the organization’s future international expansion.For its second edition, WCAA selected Dubai, one of the world’s most internationally connected destinations, as the setting for the next chapter.The move represents an important milestone for an initiative founded in the Maldives and developed with a global ambition.BUILDING A GLOBAL CAKE COMMUNITYBeyond the awards themselves, WCAA is working toward a broader international ecosystem connecting cake artists, pastry chefs, home bakers, educators, students, businesses, suppliers and organizations.Through its international ambassadors, judges, competitions, educational activities and the WCAA Global Cake Community, the organization aims to encourage professional development, knowledge sharing, collaboration and international recognition.The initiative reflects a simple idea at the heart of Mujuthaba Abdulla’s vision: talent should have the opportunity to be discovered regardless of nationality, geography or background.THE ROAD TO DUBAIApplications for the World Cake Artistry Awards 2027 are scheduled to remain open until 31 December 2026, followed by the international judging process from January to March 2027.Finalists will be announced online, while winners are expected to receive their recognition on stage during the Dubai Grand Gala.As artists from around the world prepare for the next chapter, World Cake Artistry Awards 2027 Dubai is positioning itself as an international meeting point for creativity, craftsmanship, culture and professional recognition.From an idea born in the Maldives to a growing network spanning 79 countries, the journey continues toward Dubai.WORLD CAKE ARTISTRY AWARDS 2027Dubai, United Arab Emirates 7–8 June 2027Founded in the Maldives • Connecting the World Through Cake ArtistryFounder & Executive Chairman: Mujuthaba AbdullaWORLD CAKE ARTISTRY AWARDS — CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE IN CAKE ARTISTRY WORLDWIDE
From China to Your Bakery — Complete Bakery Setup & Professional Training
From China to Your Bakery — Complete Bakery Setup & Professional TrainingMore Than Training — We Build Your BakeryStarting a successful bakery takes more than buying equipment. It requires proper planning, professional guidance, a practical production setup, trained staff, standardized recipes and a clear understanding of bakery operations.Culinary Studio and My Cakes and Sweets, led by Chef Mujuthaba Abdulla, now offer a complete bakery setup and professional training service for entrepreneurs and businesses looking to start a new bakery or upgrade an existing operation.Everything You Need to Start With ConfidenceOur service is designed to make the bakery setup process easier. We assist clients from the early planning stage through equipment sourcing, shipping coordination, bakery setup and professional training.We can source suitable commercial bakery equipment directly from China, helping clients avoid the difficulty of searching for suppliers and selecting equipment without professional guidance.Our approach is simple:WE BUY • WE SHIP • WE SET UP • WE TRAINMore Than EquipmentA bakery cannot succeed with equipment alone. The team operating the bakery must understand production, consistency, quality control and efficient daily workflow.That is why professional staff training is an important part of our service.Training can cover bread and bakery production, pastries, cakes, desserts and other products according to the requirements of the business.We can also provide guidance in recipe development, menu planning, recipe standardization, food costing, production planning and practical bakery operations.Designed Around Your BusinessEvery bakery is different. A small neighborhood bakery does not have the same requirements as a large commercial operation, café, restaurant, hotel or resort.We therefore work according to the individual client’s concept, available space, production requirements and business goals.Our aim is to help create a bakery that is practical to operate, professionally organized and prepared for commercial production.From an Idea to an Operational BakeryWhether you are planning your first bakery, expanding an existing business, or introducing bakery production to a café, restaurant, hotel, resort or other food business, we can guide you through the journey.Instead of coordinating different suppliers, trainers and consultants separately, you can work with one team throughout the bakery development process.FROM CHINA TO YOUR BAKERYWE BUY • WE SHIP • WE SET UP • WE TRAINChef Mujuthaba Abdulla Professional Culinary Consultant & Trainer Culinary Studio | My Cakes and Sweets WhatsApp: +960 9550050More Than Training — We Build Your Bakery.
