Local representatives are elected or appointed each year to help spread the art of cake decorating around the world.  Throughout the year these representatives conduct meetings, get-togethers and Days of Sharing for their members.   At these events you will meet other decorators from your area, see demonstrations and often participate in contests and other hands-on activities.

For more on Local Sharing Events, see Coming Events.

You will receive the ICES newsletter eleven times a year.   It is designed to keep you informed about cake shows, classes, ICES events, and cake decorating ideas.  Featured are color photos of cakes that were displayed at the most recent annual sharing show and convention.  All ICES members are encouraged to share recipes, hints, patterns and photos for use in the newsletter.

Newsletters are also published by the local representatives.   These newsletters will keep you up-to-date on people and events in your area.  Want to peek inside and see some of the articles?  Here are three recent articles from the newsletter received by our members. 

At all ICES events you will have the opportunity to be with other people--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.

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.   Contact your local representative for a scholarship application.

For more on Scholarships, see Scholarships.

ICES membership brochures and publicity posters for upcoming conventions are available as well.  Informative booklets on starting a cake club or organizing a cake show are also available for a small fee.

ICES honors cake decorators who have contributed significantly to this art by inducting them into the Hall of Fame.  As an ICES member you can nominate people for this honor, and you may meet many of these "stars" of the cake decorating art, as they often attend the annual sharing shows.

For more on Hall of Fame nominations, see Nominations.
