Pastry is different from cooking because you have to consider the chemistry, beauty and flavor. Its not just sugar and eggs thrown together. I tell my pastry chefs to be in tune for all of this. You have to be challenged by using secret or unusual ingredients. – 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
I dont follow trends. I make each cake for a particular wedding, or event. – Ron Ben-Israel
Im reading a lot of different books, but I always think I have to switch it up a little bit. Its like food – everything in moderation, same with my books, same with my reading.
