Networking: At all ICES events, you will have the opportunity to spend time with other men, women, and children who share your love of cake decorating and the confectionery arts. Our members run the gamut from beginner to professional level, from homemakers who occasionally bake cakes for their families to bakery professionals and accredited sugar artists.

Scholarships: ICES promotes the art of cake decorating by awarding one or more annual scholarships to applicants deemed most likely to develop and promote the art form. Anyone interested in furthering their knowledge of sugar art and sharing that knowledge with others is invited to apply for a scholarship.
