International Cake Exploration Societé
The International Cake Exploration Societé (ICES) was founded in 1976[1] in Monroe, Michigan, USA[2] by Betty Jo Steinman. The ICES is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving, advancing and encouraging exploration of the sugar arts. ICES also promotes and provides opportunities for continuing education,[3] development of future sugar artists, and enjoyment of the art form.
Board of Directors and Executive Officers are elected by the membership at the time. Local Representatives are elected in each state, or appointed.
ICES holds an annual Convention and Sugar Art Show[4][5][6][7][8][9] in a different location in the United States.
Certification[edit]
ICES Certification Program aims to educate and encourage ICES members to develop their talents in the sugar arts, acquire new skills, and improve their standard of decorating. The Certification Program is available to any ICES member. Certification is a live, 8-hour, adjudicated test held in conjunction with the annual ICES Convention and Show.[10]
Scholarships[edit]
ICES awards one or more annual scholarships to applicants deemed most likely to develop and promote the art form.[11][12]
