Wedding cake baker to the stars Sylvia Weinstock has died at age 91.
on the Instagram page of the “Queen of Cakes” said"the cake designer who pioneered an industry of towering, sugar-flower wedding cakes died peacefully in her home in Tribeca, surrounded by her loving family."Weinstock, originally an elementary school teacher on Long Island, didn't start baking professionally until she was 50 years old and had survived breast cancer.
“While Sylvia was known for her A-list clientele, everyone who ordered a cake got Sylvia’s celebrity touch,” the post on her Instagram said. The bespectacled baker made her black goggle-like glasses her signature, and stamped them on every cake. She despised fondant, and would only work with buttercream, and baked over a thousand cakes a year.
"Her magical confections appeared at weddings and celebrations in the United States, Japan, China, Middle East, the Caribbean and Europe,” the Instagram post said. "She nurtured generations of adoring fans, and it was common for her to create celebration cakes for a couple, their children, and their children’s children, for all the milestones of their lives," it continued."Most people can’t remember the food, music, or flowers, but they remember the cake 30 years later," she said."I have a moment in everyone’s wedding, which fills my heart.
