Sylvia Weinstock

"You can never have too many flowers on a cake. Don’t count them, place them. You’ll know when you’re done."

Sylvia Weinstock knew how to live. Today, we're remembering her on - tap the article for the 10 lessons we learned from the master craftsman.🎂 xxoo

From Melissa Rivers: To simply call Sylvia Weinstock a “baker” would be like calling Picasso “someone who painted.” What she lacked in height, she made up for in humor, heart and towering wedding cakes! RIP Sylvia. Sylvia Weinstock Melissa Rivers

So sad to hear the news of a legend and amazing cake decorator. Queen of Cakes Sylvia Weinstock Sylvia Weinstock Cakes

It’s truly the end of an era. We’re heartbroken to hear about the passing of Sylvia Weinstock - aka “The Queen of Cakes” - and wish comfort and condolences to everyone who loved her.

“I will treasure our times together in Providence, Rhode Island and New York. Sweet memories. May you rest in peace, my friend.” -Grace Ormonde, Editor-in-Chief

We are so saddened to learn of the passing of our dear supporter and friend, Sylvia Weinstock We were so honored every time the queen of cakes spread the message about our organization and participated in our events. In one of the most recent events she participated in, she accidentally said "Sugar Smiles" instead of "Icing Smiles." This slip of the tongue was not seen as a mistake but as a heartwarming new nickname for our organization.
We extend our deepest condolences to Sylvia's loved ones as you grieve this passing. We hope you can find comfort in the memories and celebration of her life. Please know how much she will always be loved, deeply and sincerely.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Sylvia Weinstock 

Happy Saturday!

*HIGHLIGHT OF 2020*
Conquered my fears and appeared on Food Network Chopped Sweets! My fourth appearance! I had the opportunity to meet the legend Sylvia Weinstock up close and personal!

For a little brown boy who grew up in Lincoln Heights and in a single parent household. I’m forever grateful where God continues to guide my life. I’m blessed for every opportunity and angels who push me along the way!

Dreams do come true, with a ton of hard work!

Oh and don’t forget to laugh along the way! Keep dreaming BIG, Lord knows that I am! 😘😘🖤🖤

According to The Knot & WeddingWire, October 19th was the most popular wedding date in 2019. That means, 3 months to plan your 1st Anniversary cake cutting!

You'll love the story behind this photo shoot for Style Me Pretty, that was, 50% inspiration, 50% reality. Take a look: bit.ly/DCBSMPCake
