A SWEET LOVE DEDICATION
Created by Australia's incredibly talented cake sculptor Trina Thomson exclusively for ICSA, this large sugar feature has been created as a very special ode to her daughter. "How to Tame Your Dragon" was her daughters favourite movie as she was growing up.
The moral behind this trilogy (and sugar feature) is definitely child worthy learning.
Movie 1: "See the best in others, be yourself, be brave enough to be different from the rest".
Movie 2: Learn to grow up.
Movie 3: With love comes loss, learn to say goodbye.

New 1 Hour Mini Classes Coming Soon!
The mini classes are one of the most popular activities at the show. They're such great value tickets usually sell out long before the show doors open. These are the mini classes held this year. For the 2024 show we delayed opening up ticketing to give people at the show an opportunity to buy tickets. We're currently working on the 2025 Make & Take Classes. You've asked us to open ticketing much earlier and we've heard you. 2025 Make and Take class bookings will be open here SOON!
