One might say the priest blesses the bread and wine when he offers it to the Father at the Offertory. But it sounds like you are asking when he consecrates it (not blesses). He consecrates it during the Eucharistic Prayer when he bends over the bread and pronounces the words of Jesus: This is My Body, and when he bends over the chalice and pronounces This is the chalice of My Blood given for you.....
it is when the bread and wine is changed into the body and blood of Christ.
The consecration is during the Eucharistic Prayer (used to be called the Canon) in the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the second part of the Mass (used to be called the Mass of the Faithful).
during the Liturgy of the Eucharist

Only a priest or bishop
The actual consecration is done only by the priest, through the power of the Holy Spirit, although several priests may say the words of consecration at the same time. Altar servers may help with the ritual by presenting the bread and wine, and helping the priest wash his hands.
The priest is merely a vessel for Christ. Christ transubstantiates the bread and wine at the hands of the priest.
1.The word 'consecrate' is a verb (a "doing" word), so it might be used like this: "During the Mass, the priest consecrates the bread and the wine." 1.Abraham Lincoln said that the brave men who died at Gettysburg consecrated the ground of that battlefield
Only if that medic happens to be an ordained Catholic priest or bishop.

It is not really that the priest who is changing the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus, rather, it is Jesus himself who performs this miracle THROUGH the priest. Jesus can do this because He is God and is therefore all-powerful.
The part in mass which you present the gifts of bread and wine is in the offertory part.
After a priest consecrates the bread and wine, then it is distributed to the people. First, the priest gives the bread. The parisioners wait. Then, the priest comes with the chalice and people either sip wine from the chalice or dip their bread into the wine. In between people sipping from the chalice, the priest wipes the lip of the chalice where the last person sipped. Some people believe it is more sanitary to dip the bread into the wine (rather than sipping from the cup after someone else).
The priest consencrates the bread and wine.
