I have a crusade against fondant, also shortening. Theres no reason why wedding cakes cant taste good if you know what youre doing. – Ron Ben-Israel
When I celebrated my bar mitzvah, there was no cake. Today, there is no such thing as a bar mitzvah in the United States without a special cake. It can be even more complicated and expensive than a wedding cake, because bar-mitzvah cakes are often based on a particular theme. – Ron Ben-Israel
We used to be referred to as bakers and then we became known as cake decorators and now we are known as cake designers. I teach at the French Culinary Institute in New York and cake design is a legitimate profession. – Ron Ben-Israel
I dont follow trends. I make each cake for a particular wedding, or event. – Ron Ben-Israel
I think a lot of people get so obsessed with the wedding and the expense of the wedding that they miss out on what the real purpose is. Its not about a production number, its about a meaningful moment between two people thats witnessed by people that they actually really know and care about. – Jane Seymour
