<My friend who bakes on the side could do a better frosting job.> The Momofuku cake is unfrosted. Says so right in the description. And I hate to say it, but $350 for a cake that serves 60 is not expensive at all. I think Sylvia...

Ron Ben Israel did our cake almost 4 years ago. We found him to be charming and his work was incredible. A great experience. We much preferred him to Sylvia Weinstock who seemed a bit full of herself. He is expensive. But for...

up with! (and the cake itself was to die for)! Also- Sylvia Weinstock—When my husband was an I-Banker he worked on a deal for a subdivision of Heinz and when the deal closed they got a cake in the shape of a Heinz ketchup...

Hi Sylvia. I don’t specifically remember that cake but I remember Hanscom’s and H&H vivedly. I grew up in the Jenkintown area and we were very good customers at Hanscoms. When I was little we used to buy a Choc Hot...

Sylvia's has the sorriest soul food I ever experienced. Plus, everything is loaded with MSG so that if you don’t leave there with a pounding headache, it’s a minor miracle. I make my own fried chicken and coconut cake,...

Next week we will be co-hosting a very large dinner – about 40 people. I will be doing some baking, but won’t have time to do enough. (I have to make my traditional chocolate cake!) We will be going to Costco to get...

Any suggestions? I usually go to Sweet Eats in Somerdale, NJ but I won’t have time to travel that far this year. Anywhere around Phila/Willow Grove/King of Prussia- or anywhere in between for a great cake (with fun...

I am craving chocolate bundt cake with some kind of glaze. What are your favorite recipes? Thanks!!!!

There’s a recipe I’d like to try for a citrus chiffon cake, which calls for an "angel food cake pan with a removable bottom." I don’t have one of those. The instructions after baking are strange: it says,...

the suggestions here are great. i heard sylvia's in harlem has a great red velvet cake. don’t know if you can take out. being from the south, i think the red velvets at buttercup and magnolia are good but not quite the real...

I’m looking for a bakery that has “Great” basic birthday cakes. Nothing fancy (no alcoholic ingredients), but something that everyone takes one bite of and says, “Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm”. A great cheesecake...

Hey scoopG, that is a good recipe - aka (somewhat annoyingly) as Apple Dapple Cake and was published in Newsday by Sylvia Carter (one of my heroines) a few years ago. Have made it for years.

First of all, the cake was delicious. The recipe served many people, and it’s all gone. However, the middle sank. So I should have listened to EMDB and ciaolette, who thought the large amount of baking soda and powder was...

Looking for a place that serves superb desserts, especially a totally decadent, chocolate torte or cake of some sort. It could be a bakery where I pick up the cake, but preferably a place to sit down and eat the cake after...
