How do you keep up with new cake decorating trends, in an industry that is continually evolving? If you are a creative person, you don’t follow trends, you build on them. I find my inspiration everywhere…fabric, gardens, books, art. All you need is to be curious about the world, and not stuck on trendiness. What is one technique you wish you saw more of on wedding cakes? Buttercreme for sure, and just quality overall: deliciousness. I am afraid that too much art and architecture has replaced taste. Yes a cake should be fabulously beautiful but is must also be fabulously good to eat. What words of wisdom would you love to share with our cake decorating community? Spend the money to always use the freshest and best ingredients you can find. Always. The best butter, the best chocolate, the best eggs and milk, the best flour, and fruits. It will always make a difference in the end product. more information facebook.com/pages/Sylvia-Weinstock/43264422759?fref=ts and @SylviaWeinstock on Twitter (coming soon)
