There’s something magical about baking—a pinch of patience, a sprinkle of creativity, and the warmth of something handmade coming to life in your kitchen. Whether you’re kneading dough or frosting cupcakes, baking is more than just a culinary activity. It’s an expression of love, care, and often, nostalgia. And that’s exactly what we’re celebrating this World Baking Day.
But First, A Brief History of World Baking Day
We can’t talk about celebrating without knowing where it all began. World Baking Day was established in 2012 as a global initiative to inspire people to experience the joy of baking—no matter their skill level. Since then, it’s grown into an annual tradition celebrated on the third Sunday of May.
It’s not just about cakes and cookies—it’s about the stories that rise with the dough, the memories baked into every bite, and the laughter shared over a warm oven. Whether you're a beginner testing out your first batch of muffins or a seasoned baker perfecting your sourdough, this day encourages us all to slow down and savour the simple joy of homemade.
Why Defence Bakery Celebrates It?
At Defence Bakery, we’ve been baking with heart since 1962. For us, baking isn’t just a profession—it’s a passion that’s been passed down through generations. It is a lifestyle which honours the heritage and stays relevant to the world. This World Baking Day, we want to share that passion with you.
Our Signature Breads - handcrafted and always fresh.
Our breads don’t see yesterday or tomorrow. They only see today.
