Client Testimonials

I get first preference in classes & courses with internationally renowned artists. We are all a part of a Facebook forum only for members, it is a pure joy opening up facebook and seeing what my cake buddies have been up to, sharing a laugh and asking questions and getting the best advice from many caking superstars who are also a part of ACDN. We can also access member discounts at all of the best supply outlets (all the best ones that you probably already shop at!).

I love being part of the Australian Cake Decorating Network.
It brings all cake decorators together to share their love for cake decorating. I’m always looking forward to the events ACDN brings such as cake crawl. Truly a fantastic community and i recommend anyone who has a passion for decorating to join!

When I joined the Australian Cake Decorating Network I didn’t know what to expect.
Would I get anything out of it??
Would I learn anything??
Would I make any connections in the cake world??
Well a giant YES is the answer.
I have found such an amazing support group, always there with words of encouragement, and advice when asked for.
