International Cake Show Australia & ACADA

WHOOHOO!!! The 1 hour mini MAKE & TAKE CLASSES at International Cake Show Australia have just launched! We promised you'd be the first in the know. These classes are one of the most popular hands-on activities at the show. They're a huge hit with everyone, including families and the kids. They're such great value they sell out well before the show's doors even open EVERY YEAR!

If you're struggling in this economy and can't afford the incredible full day hands-on workshops and masterclasses at the show, these fun, skills based classes have been especially designed for anyone who is budget conscious or time poor. If you've always wanted to learn new skills, or to start your sweet creative journey, these classes are the perfect place to start. They're your opportunity to train hands on with a pro. Our Make & Take Mini Class teachers are multi award-winning cake, cookie and sugar artists.

These one hour classes are such incredible value, no wonder they don't last. The RRP of what you learn to make, create and take home is usually more than the cost of the class. These really are an incredible opportunity!

To book visit the ACADA website, the link is in our bio.

We've still got a few more to add, however if you see any you like, PLEASE grab them quickly to avoid disappointment. You can transfer classes very easily on line if needed.

Make sure you let your friends and colleages know the Make & Take Mini Classes have now launced. Once our newsletter goes out on the weekend, they WON"T LAST LONG.

Good luck . Thank you to our show's platinum sponsor World of Cake and our Naked Cake sponsors and My Dream Cake It's because of these industry champions, these opportunities are possible

Can you believe this? What sane person would commit to making a 2.5metre high gravity defying sugar feature? Yep that’s right! Can you imagine how much chocolate, fondant and cake it would take to create that!

Brisbane baker Daniel Greensill from Dan's creative Cakes believes in dreaming big. This is Dan’s fifth time entering the Battle of the Sugar Giants at the show. This year his 7 year old daughter Gracie is joining in the fun. They’re building it together!

Make sure you check out the huge sugar features in the Battle of the Sugar Giants Zone at International Cake Show Australia. 3 massive 3m x 3m sugar activations

​Contuing with his massive "Marvel" themed BSG entries, this year Dan & Gracie are taking it up a notch. They're building a 2.5m high gravity defying "Incredible Hulk". To celebrate ICSA's 10th birthday, and the show's carnival theme, they've added a huge hit of colour and bucket loads of sweets. Don't miss this incredible feat of edible sugar mastery, you'll find it in the Battle of the Sugar Giants' zone at the end of the huge competition display zone
