Your September networking lunch just got a lot sweeter.
Join Brides & Weddings and the Women’s Wedding Network on Wednesday, Sept. 9, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Sweeney Barn in Manassas for the 2026 Brides & Weddings Cake-Off.
This is not a bridal show, and you do not need to be a baker to attend.
The bakers are the featured competitors. You get to enjoy the experience.
Come spend your lunch meeting wedding professionals from across the region while talented bakers, cake artists, cookie makers, and dessert professionals showcase their creations.

Your Ticket Includes:
Enjoy lunch while connecting with wedding venues, planners, photographers, florists, caterers, DJs, officiants, and other professionals who serve engaged couples.
Cake and Dessert Tastings
Sample the creations our participating bakers bring to the competition. This is your chance to discover talented dessert professionals you may want to recommend to future couples.
Attendees help select the Attendees Choice winner. Taste the entries, choose your favorite, and help one talented baker take home a Cake-Off title.
Real Networking
The Cake-Off typically brings together approximately 30 to 50 wedding-industry professionals in a relaxed setting where there is actually time to talk, reconnect, and make new referral connections.
A Chance to Discover New Vendors
If your couples ask, “Who do you recommend for cake?” this is a fun way to meet bakers and experience their work firsthand.
A percentage of Cake-Off proceeds will benefit Give Back Prince William in support of scholarships connected to the Influential Women Award.
