Noelle will be teaching four separate 1-day royal icing cookie workshops at the show. We were indundated with requests to bring her to Australia.  Each workshop offers a different level of complexity. Although some techniques are common, they are all made differently on each day for a unique output on every cookie. 

You'll be working on pre baked sugar cookies that have been hand-crafted using Noelle's cutters designed specifically for your workshop. 
During your workshop you will receive comprehensive notes, which will include Noelle's royal icing recipe and templates for all the cutters used. ​


Workshop Overview:
​
This workshop is ideal if your are wanting to upskill. In this workshop Noelle will teach you her signature techniques for creating bas-relief structures, how to create depth and dimension, how to prepare royal icing surfaces so they are suitable for painting with gel or powder colours, how to master the perfect royal icing consistency for characterized cookie designs. She will also give you detailed guidance on achieving the ideal bas-relief texture for piping facial and body features such as cheeks, forehead, bust, hair and arms.  

Techniques and Skills Taught: 

Piping Skills: 


  • How to construct 3D royal icing features to create depth and realistic volume on character cookies

  • Build 3D royal icing elements including head, eyes, mouth, cheeks, skin, bust and arms - to enhance your large Jasmine cookie with realistic depth and raised effects. 
  • Execute precise piping for delicate decorative elements such as feathers and diamonds
​

Please note: the lamp cookie will be pre-piped in advance due to time limitations.

WORKSHOP FAQ

Limited Student Numbers & Class Timing:

This workshop has limited student 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. As with all workshops class times are approximate. We cannot guarantee all classes will finish on time.

What You'll Take Home:

At the end of your workshop we'll provide you with a box to safely transport your project home. Be super proud, we'd love to be there to see the expression on your friends' and family's faces. What you'll be making in this workshop is guaranteed to "WOW"!  

​Workshop Ticket Inclusions: 

Your workshop ticket includes a 3 day International Cake Show Australia pass valued at $75.
You DO NOT need to buy a separate show entry ticket.  Your workshop ticket gives you access to all areas of the show other than the paid areas such as workshops, mini classes, paid business training sessions and the Thursday night Sugar Artists, Sponsors & Vendors Cocktail Party. These are separate ticketed events.

Your workshop ticket includes express show entry, access to all stages, more than 100 free demonstrations, all the huge sugar features including the new walk 6m x 6m "Le Fete Fantastique" and "Florals & Fairies" global sugar artists features, the Battle of the Sugar Giants zone, the competition display, Wedding Cake Wars, the Superstar Stage and most importantly to the Shopping Zone. 

Everything you need to complete your class is provided. All tools and equipment provided are for use during your workshop only. These can't be taken home. They need to be left at the end of your workshop, as they are needed for the following classes. If you wish to purchase any of the tools or equipment used, they will be available at various vendor stands at the show. Many of the vendors will be selling at highly discounted prices, so you'll be able to pick up lots of bargains. Your teacher will explain what you need and how you can improvise where possible, however they'll also tell you the best places to source any items you may need to purchase, if you want to recreate your project again at home.

What You Need to Bring: 

You need to bring an apron, a bottle of water if needed, a light lunch and a smile. If you need to pick up a light lunch, tea or coffee, the cafe and coffee stand within the show will be open. Please note the venue have introduced new rules. Due to their food safety requirements we are unable to provide complimentary tea and coffee throughout the show.

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. 


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, or the class is cancelled, will I 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. ​
