FEATURED NEWS
SACDG Africa Map Project
In a remarkable display of collaboration and artistry, SACDG members from across the country came together to create a stunning edible map of Africa, showcasing the incredible diversity and talent within our guild.
This project highlighted the skills of decorators from every branch, featuring traditional African motifs, indigenous flora, and iconic landmarks—all crafted in sugar.
The completed piece was displayed at our annual exhibition and has since been featured in numerous publications, cementing the SACDG's reputation for excellence and innovation.
