While attending the NACE Educational conference in Houston, I had the opportunity to meet Sylvia Weinstock,  the famed “cake lady of SOHO.”   Sylvia’s cakes are as famous as those she bakes them for – Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey and Catherine Zeta-Jones just to name a few.

Sylvia was gracious enough not only to make a special cake for the NACE 50th Anniversary, but also spoke during a breakout session.  I was mesmerized by the way she described shipping a cake across the country with such ease – I would be a nervous wreck if I were on the receiving end!

At a time when wedding cakes tasted bad but looked beautiful, Syliva made it her mission to make a cake that not only looked gorgeous and elegant but tasted wonderful too.  I share the same passion for planning events – your party shouldn’t just looked great, it should be fun and memorable too.
