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.

International Cake-Off Challenge

WATCH THE WORLD'S BEST BATTLE IT OUT
FOR THE WORLD TITLE
Picture
Held live on the superstar stage from 10am - 4pm on Friday and Saturday. The world's best cake artists battle it out in front of the audience. They're competing in an extreme cake-off. Think "Cake Boss" but on a much larger scale. Team International are competing for the world title against Australia's best. We've added a third team this year, Team Rising Stars. They're the "dark horse".

ABOUT THE SHOW & ACADA

International Cake Show Australia is the largest show of it's nature in the Southern Hemisphere. However it isn't owned by a big business. It's owned and operated by an incorporated not-for-profit industry based association, the Australian Cake Artists & Decorators Association Inc (ACADA), which is owned by it's members. The majority of Cake & Cookie Artists teaching and demonstrating at the show, are ACADA members. 

Over the last three years a huge number of Australians have ditched their long term careers and started home based baking businesses. The Cake & Cookie decorating industry within Australia is ENORMOUS. 

Most of the talent team working at the show are home based decorators. They  volunteer their time to showcase the amazing skills within our industry,  not only within Australia but worldwide! 
ACADA's objective is to inspire you to learn, create and grow. ICSA Cake Show is held as a not for profit community service.

ACADA membership is open to anyone with an interest in cake or cookie decorating.  If you'd like to learn more about ACADA or learn about the many benefits of ACADA membership click that button below. You're invited to join!
