I am so happy to have as our guest today, The Queen of Cakes, Sylvia Weinstock. I had the chance to speak with Ms. Weinstock a few weeks ago, and guys, she is oh-so-sweet and a most charming and gracious lady!!! We all know what beautiful cakes she creates and I'm sure all brides dream about having a Sylvia Weinstock cake at their wedding. I'm so honored to have her stop by the cafe and spend a little time with us. So without further ado........I give you......Sylvia Weinstock!!!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!
TBC: What inspires you as a designer?
Ms. Sylvia: Everything inspires me, be it a vase, a motif, a carving of a chair, jewelry, etc. Design is all around us.
TBC: What is the best part about your job?
Ms. Sylvia: I love meeting my clients and creating their cakes. Their joy and appreciation is a great reward. Upon meeting a bride, we take into account her budget, decor, menu, elements of her gown, season of the year, indoor/outdoor event, etc.
TBC: What should a bride look for when choosing her cake designer?
Ms. Sylvia: Remember, you get what you pay for. Be sure to taste the cake at the baker's shop, see what you will get! Check over the design you want. Book your cake with a Board of Health recognized shop. Plan ahead and check with the baker as to their preferred time-line.
WOW........Simply elegant and soooo beautiful!!!!!!
Ms. Sylvia, thanks so much for stopping by the cafe and sharing some great expert advice with us!!!!!!
I was able to chat with her last year and I agree - she is so sweet and gracious!
