Sylvia Weinstock Cakes

If i had the option to write no stars, I would. I contacted these folks based on a recommendation from a hotel catering staff to create a wedding cake. I wrote a detailed email, provided a link to styles I liked, attached 4 photos of different styles, and eagerly awaited a response. I got a terse email with a signature line, no text. I had to scroll down to see the estimate which was 1 single sentence. It didn't address my email, my desires, nor give the illusion that they care about me as a customer. GIven the bevy of options out there, I would definitely contact another baker who understands the importance of a wedding day, believes that good customer service is key to running a company, and, of course, will attempt to earn your business.

Sylvia Weinstock made my bridal shower cake and wow what a creation. She managed to re-create the invitation which featured a teapot decorated with flowers. She made a laregr than life version where the teacup was stuffed with edible flowers. When I walked over with a knife, that was the first time many guests realized it was a cake. Most pretty caked look great but taste awful, that was NOT the case with Sylvia's creations. The white cake stuffed with strawberry, raspberry, and lemon icing was one of the best cakes I have ever had. I froze whatever was left and continued to eat it over the course of a few months. I definitely teared up when it was all gone. Going to cake taste was an unbelievable experience as well. They present all of their cake flavors and frosting on a painters palette and let you sample all of them. They even suggest a few combinations to try together. We even got to meet and chat with Sylvia herself. You must try Sylvia Weinstock if you are getting married or have a celebration coming up. They are pricey but worth it- she is one of the most highly coveted cake decorators in the country. She does the most life like flowers that you can save for years, is kosher, and covers her cakes in butter cream never fondant.
