2026 Workshops

Open to the General Public

​Want to upskill or always dreamed of learning cake or cookie decorating, these hands-on workshops are a once in a lifetime opportunity to train with and learn from the industry's best. These classes are taught by multi-award winning Australian and global sugar heroes.

Due to their popularity we strongly recommend if you want to do a workshop, to book as early as possible, as the workshops at Interntional Cake Show Ausrralia sell out well before the show opens, every year. 

There are workshops available for all experience levels (beginners to advanced). Your workshop ticket includes all tools, ingredients and equipment. It also includes a complimentary 3 day show pass (valued at $75), please don't buy an additional entry ticket. If you are attending workshops every day, why not transfer your ticket to mum, your sister or a friend! They are transferrable

Massive Sugar Features

BATTLE OF THE SUGAR GIANTS

No where else in Australasia are young home based cake decorators given this type of opportunity. ACADA and International Cake Show Australia are designed to you grow and to give you national and international exposure. ACADA and ICSA have helped catapult so many decorator's careers, onto the world stage.  The Battle of the Sugar Giants is designed to test skills and to stretch boundaries to the extreme.  It showcases extreme cake sculptures. THINK BIG!
The minimum size of these themed sugar exhibits is 3m x 3m. 

The Battle of the Sugar Giants is a special class in the Ultimate Australian Cake Decorating Competition at the show. The exhibits are made by the competitors in their homes and transported from all parts of Australia (or around the world) to Brisbane to the show. These exhibits take months to make, and usually include tons of cake, modelling chocolate and fondant.
ICSA is about being inspired and dreaming big. These exhibits are MUST SEE! 

Not all classes in the Ultimate Cake & Cookie Decorating Competition are as challenging. Every class is designed to encourage you to improve and showcase your skills. There are classes to suit every interest and experience level. Download the competition schedule and enter. You'll be SO PLEASED you did!

ICSA Haute Couture Marquee 


​ABOUT THE 2025 MARQUEE

The Haute Couture Marquee is exquisite. Each year it displays the gorgeous creations of Australasia's top eight haute couture wedding cake designers. They are competing for the title of
​"ACADA Australasian Haute Couture Wedding Cake Designer of the Year".

They were set a challenge to create a haute couture wedding cake a minimum of 1 metre tall that meets their clients brief. ​
THE BRIEF
Create a haute couture wedding cake that makes a statement and fits within their Dubai based "A List" celebrity brid and grooms brief. Their clients are organising a spectacular weding reception in a majestic French chateau which is romantic, ornate and screams grandeur! They love Easter and want to incorporate it into their theme. They love flowers and everything Easter brings, so think an Easter Wonderland theme would be perfect. Imagine whites or pretty soft pastels. They mention the venue will be filled with flowers. They want their cake to be the hero, however it must compliment the theme. 250 guests are invited.
