The International Cake Show Australia opens in Brisbane

The International Cake Show Australia is one of the country’s largest cake, sugar and baking events, featuring cake and cookie decorating, a baking and sugar art show, a food festival and more.

Held from 11–13 April, the event will showcase work from leading edible cake artists and decorators, over 100 free demonstrations and hands-on workshops.

Returning to the event for her third year is UK personality and television host Rosie Dummer, aka Rosie Cake-Diva. Dummer famously created a life-sized Paddington Bear for Queen Elizabeth II and on Sunday, she’ll be showing audiences how she created the edible fine China cup and saucer she created for the Queen.
