Competition Entry is open to EVERYONE, regardless of your experience level, or where in the world you live! If you are travelling to the show there are several YouTube videos available on how to safely pack and transport your cake. 

If you are an international visitor, Australian quarantine and border control laws ALLOW sugar based products, however you must declare these on your disembarkation card upon arrival into Australia. To facilitate easy travel most competition categories allow the use of dummy or polystyrene cakes.  However if dummies are used, your exhibit must be achievable in actual cake.  Please read the competition schedule to see if the category/class you plan to enter allows the use of dummies. 

If you are entering the competition, you will not need to buy show tickets. You will be given a competitors 3 day pass valued at $60 when you drop off your exhibit/cake.The  Exhibitors badge is for the competitors exclusive use only and must be worn at all times whilst at the show. 


Just Desserts Team

​Come meet the Just Desserts competitors. This is the first time they've all been together since the show and their coming to party, to share their skills and to have a selfie taken with you.

You'll find Kylie, Zak, Pearly, Megan, Kristie, Kimberley, Jeff, Catherine, Simon and Rachel on the Just Dessert Stage. They'll be demonstrating throughout the show. In between demonstrations they'll be more than happy to visit the Selfie Photo Booth where you'll not only be able to have your photo taken, you'll be able to have it replicated as a cookie to keep as a momento!

Yes children are very welcome. ICSA is a fun filled family event designed for the whole family. There are wide isles which are perfect for navigating prams. There are lots of fun children's activities and exhibits including mini cookie and sugar modelling classes and face painting.  However children must remain with their parents at all times.
