ACADA is the official industry body for the Australia's cake and cookie decorating industry. It is an incorporated not for profit association designed specifically to provide benefits for those involved within our industry regardless of whether you are a hobby home baker just starting your decorating journey or a professional cake or cookie artist, baker, chocolatier, educator, supplier, manufacturer or distributor. Membership is open to ANYONE with an interest in baking or decorating regardless of your level of experience.
Regardless of whether you are a highly experienced professional, a beginner, home hobby baker or company such as a supplier or retailer, there's a membership category specifically designed for you.
Just a few of the many benefits of ACADA Membership include accreditation, world class training opportunities, networking opportunities and a wide range of discounts including discounts with ACADA's many retail partners. If you are a home hobby decorator or baker, as an ACADA member you will also have access to ACADA Members' highly discounted public liability and product insurance. Annual Membership is $78 + gst. Insurance is essential if you are running a home based baking or decorating business. ACADA Members' Insurance is $50 + GST. Visit the "Join ACADA" page from the main menu on our website (or click the button above) to learn more
ACADA is also proud host of International Cake Show Australia (ICSA). ICSA is Australia's largest Cake & Sweet Show. It's owned by our members and operated for our members' benefit. ICSA is held in a fun family friendly atmosphere over three days packed full of learning opportunities. It's held in May every year. ICSA offers more than 90 free demonstrations, discounted hands-on classes with the world's best cake and cookie artists, networking opportunities, discounted shopping and the opportunity to enter Australia's largest cake decorating competition.
ACADA also hosts and operates the ACADA Australasian Cake & Cookie Oscar Awards every year. It's designed to recognise and applaud the best of the very best within our industry and to promote the fantastic talent we have within Australia, globally.
Cake & Cookie Decorators Insurance
Comprehensive Coverage at a Discount Price
We understand the crippling cost of insurance, specially if you're a home based baker. ACADA Member's Public Liability & Product Insurance starts at $50 (plus gst) per year for $20m coverage. Unlike insurance sold through cake networks and other associations, ACADA member's insurance isn't shared. That means you benefit from the total $20m coverage, it doesn't reduce if another member claims.
We are thrilled to announce we have worked with Cerberos Brokers to secure an excellent highly discounted Public Liability & Product Liability insurance policy designed to protect ACADA Members across all income levels. No ABN or kitchen licensing is required. We are able to secure insurance at this highly discounted rate due as we are an incorporated not for profit membership association. If you aren't an ACADA member unfortunately we're not able to offer you ACADA members insurance. However membership is open to everyone with an interest in cake or cookie decorating. You are most welcome to join.
