The Sweet Life Award

In April 2008, Norm & Zane The Sweet Life LLC. established an award to recognize and honor those who have given exceptional service in contributing to the cake decorating world. An inductee promotes ICES, cake shows, cake decorating, and the sugar arts through many different means. To be considered for the award, a potential nominee will have shown encouragement and devotion to the sugar arts through teaching classes, demonstrating at events, sponsoring and promoting events, contributions to teachers and cake shows.   Hall of Fame inductee may be an author, may have introduced a new product or technique that is shared by many, or may have introduced cake decorating to others. In the end, 

the inductee has shared in such a way that other decorators have been able to grow.               

Service Award inductee has worked in many capacities on behalf of the cake decorating world; this is a person who is behind the scenes.                   

International Hall of Fame inductee has the same requirements as a Hall of Fame inductee, but this person is an international and he or she must live outside the United States. 

If you know someone who should be considered for this award.
