Why Join us?
Why not…
With an affordable annual membership fee, come join the Cake Decorators’ Association of WA. With regular meetings held at several metropolitan and country locations, there is probably a Branch near you where you can attend demonstrations and workshops, plus develop your skills, make new friends, gain new ideas and receive feedback & encouragement.
Our members range from juniors and upwards.
Join one of our Branches…
When you join a Branch, you are entitled to visit any of the other Branch to see their demonstrations or participate in their workshops or other events. Most Branches meet monthly although this varies from club to club, especially in the country areas (View our current Calendar). Meetings are followed either by demonstrations or hands-on workshops, which cater for all decorators from beginners to the more advanced.
Many of our Branches also have their own Facebook page to help you keep in touch.
What’s in it for you?
- Develop your cake decorating skills and try new techniques.

Busy on a Saturday?
Our Mandurah Branch meet monthly on a Wednesday morning. The Branch is very easy to get to. Take the train and then either walk a few minutes or catch one of the many buses to be dropped right at the door of their regular meeting place.
Don’t be shy, we look forward to catching up with you at one of our meetings…
