ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS

The private workshops at International Cake Show Australia have been chosen to provide you with a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from some of the world's most talented cake and cookie artists. These classes are hands-on and taught in the private workshop area at the show. Each class is limited in numbers to ensure you receive a quality learning experience. 

All workshops are broken down and taught step by step. This means even those with basic or no experience can easily complete most workshops. Please look at the class details as they will show you the techniques you will be taught. 

​If you are a beginner you may struggle to keep up in classes designed for those with intermediate or advanced skills, so please keep this in mind when selecting your workshops. Any workshop that says suitable for beginners will be perfect for you. 


Limited class numbers and class hours

Every workshop has limited numbers to ensure the very best tuition possible. The times given are guidelines. We understand all students work at different speeds, however in a workshop situation it's important you try to keep up. If you do, you'll go home with a finished project. If not, you will have learned the required skills and have some homework to complete. We cannot guarantee all classes will finish on time.

​What's included: 

All tools, materials and equipment are provided, however they are to be returned at the end of your class so they can be used for the following classes. Tea and coffee are provided.  All full day and two day workshop tickets include a complimentary 3 day pass to the show, it's valued at $75. If you are doing a half day workshop you will receive a complimentary one day pass valued at $35. It gives you access to the show on any day, or all three days. At the end of your workshop you'll be super proud of what you've created. We'll provide you with a box, so you can take your project home to impress your friends and family. 
​
What do I need to bring: 

You need to bring an apron, a bottle of water if needed, a light lunch and a smile. Every workshop is packed full of invaluable skills, techniques and tips you'll use for many years to come, they're also lots of fun. Why not consider inviting your bestie to come share in your funfilled learning experience. 

Is there a payment plan available? 

Yes. You have the choice of paying in full at the time of your booking, or alternately we can organise an interest free payment plan for you. We understand many of our students want to book multiple classes and it can be expensive to pay for them all at once. If you wish to pay via a payment plan, when checking out please select the "Invoice" option. We will then contact you to discuss suitable payment instalments, then invoice you. A 25% deposit is required to secure your booking. The remainder you can pay in monthly instalments. Please note full payment must be paid no later than one month before your first workshop. 

What if I book a class then see something else I prefer, can I transfer? 

Yes of course you can, providing there are places available and your new class is of a similar value. If not you'll need to pay the difference. You are able to swap classes up until 14 days prior to the show. 

What if I can't make it, am I able to get a refund?

In the event there aren't sufficient student numbers to make the class economically viable, or the teacher is unable to make it due to being unwell we will provide you with as much notice as possible and provide you with the choice of an immediate 100% refund or option to transfer into another workshop, the choice is yours! In the event you aren't able to make it you are welcome to transfer your ticket to someone else. We begin preparations for the workshops months before the show, therefore refunds unfortuantely aren't available. If you need to transfer your ticket to someone else, please ensure you contact us to let us know, so we can welcome them. ​
