“ Sylvia Weinstock made my bridal shower cake and wow what a creation. She managed to recreate 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 Sylvias 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. ”

“ Ive had the fortunate pleasure of dealing with Sylvia Weinstock Cakes a few times now and I must admit that although that the prices are a bit steep, the final product is always one that is appreciated by those who get to eat it. If you are ordering from them for the first time, I would suggest arranging a consultation so that you can express your preferences in flavors and theme. Just be aware that they rarely stray from the wonderful classic tiered wedding cake that Sylvia Weinstock became known for producing with exquisite detail. ”
“ I dont know how this cake genius doesnt have more reviews! My wedding cake has become sort of an issue as my wedding is in Italy and cakes over there are just different. They arent bad, but they are not what Ive dreamed of as my wedding cake. Sylvia makes the most phenomenal cakes that are truly works of art. Her cakes have the most stunning flowers and to my delight and surprise, they are all made of sugar! When I tasted her cakes and fillings I almost fell off my chair. The white cake and the butter yellow cake were my two favorites. The fillings I chose are strawberry, hazelnut and caramel. Originally we thought shed be able to have her ship the cake to Italy and I was ecstatic! Unfortunately, there was an issue with customs so I cant have her do my cake. But, if I was doing my wedding in the US, I would definitely be using Syliva! ”
“ Sylvia and Ben created a 58 cake for my daughter and her husbands celebrity wedding! The cake was three flavors and looked spectacular in its very own gazebo! People LOVED not only the look of the cake but were wild about the taste. I froze a piece for two years and it tasted just as good after two years, as on the day of the wedding! Wonderful creations, worth every penny! ”

As mentioned by Barbara, the white cake filled with strawberry, raspberry, and lemon icing is a flavor symphony that leaves a lasting impression. It’s a perfect balance that doesn’t overwhelm the palate—sweetness melts seamlessly with freshness.

Additionally, the cakes cater to various dietary preferences, being kosher and featuring buttercream icing instead of fondant, an often polarizing choice among cake enthusiasts. This commitment to flavor and quality is evident in each bite, as noted by Earlie Nava, whose experience echoed a shared sentiment: it melts in your mouth—pure bliss.
