decode base64 from SF field

We have event monitoring data being loaded into a custom object and would like to decode the base64 string detailing what the event log is tracking.  Can I do this in an apex class?  What will I need to do?

You simply call the EncodingUtils.base64decode method [1].
  
Bob blobDecode = EncodingUtils.base64decode(base64String);
String decodedString = blobDecode.toString();

You can also read more about it here [2]
