Everything can be blessed by the priest.They blessed religious articles so that God will be present on it.
The priest says, "This is my body" when blessing the bread and "This is my blood" when blessing the wine during the Eucharist.

During a Nuptial between a Catholic and non-Catholic, the Officiant [Priest or Deacon] blesses the couple. During the baptism of a child, the Officiant [Priest or Deacon] blesses the mother, father and godparents of the child as well as all assembled. If I can bless a car, why not a Protestant? My mother is Protestant! Rev. Robert J. Sweeney, www.holyrosary-ny.com
The Bishop is a priest first, and continues to do all the things a priest does, thus he celebrates the Holy Mass, is the normal person who baptizes, counsels people, etc. In addition to all of those ceremonies, the bishop has a couple that are his alone: the Bishop is the usual minister for confirmation, a priest cannot confirm without the Bishop's permission. The Bishop blesses and consecrates the sacred oils during Holy Week, and it is he who consecrates and blesses Churches, altars, etc. But it is the Bishop alone who can ordain a priest or consecrate another Bishop (with the permission of the Holy Father).
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.....
you have to be a priest or one of religious importance to do so, but they say prayers over the water and they believe that god himself blesses it.
Quite simply, he is called a priest.
