Congratulations to the winner Cari!
~~~
Mrs. Bee here! I’m back from the Engage 08 conference, and I must say that it was truly a fantastic experience! I want to blog all about it, but we recently moved and I can’t find the usb cable for my camera!In the meantime, I was lucky enough to receive 2 copies of Sylvia Weinstock’s new book Sensational Cakes, so I’m giving one away to a Weddingbee reader. (I have a picture from the conference where I’m wearing Sylvia’s signature glasses. It was awesome!
)

This gorgeous 208 page hardcover book contains some of the most beautiful cakes ever made by the “Leonardo da Vinci of cakes”. To enter, simply comment below by 9pm PST tonight and we’ll select one winner. Good luck!

oh, I could totally use inspiration! I have to have a special type of cake (for health reasons), and the baker we can use “doesn’t do wedding cakes”, so we are figuring out something ourselves for decor.
I heart cakes! I bet that book is a great source of inspiration.
I would give this to my bridesmaid who is a pastry chef and making my cake!
I love her! Please pick me! I want to make my own cake and need some inspiration. Finances mean we can’t afford to buy a cake so we need to be creative in making one.
ohh I love Slyvia Weinstock I am soo amazed by her I would treasure this book forever.
I love cakes with intricate designs that have some sort of meaning behind them. I got my soon to be husband a groom’s cake that reflects him.
wow that would be an awesome book to put on the coffee table!
Pick me, pick me, pick me… PLEASE, pick me! I love cake and I love to bake… This will give me lots of inspirations. ![]()
The most life like sugar flowers in the world! As a former chubby kid, the cake is one of my favorite parts of our wedding and I would DIE for a Sylvia Weinstock creation.
I would love this book. Being a complete foodie I love sweets and beautiful food. This combines both. ![]()
I’d love to have that book. My mom is making our cake and I’m still looking for inspiration on how to have her decorate it.
Yay! She’s one of the cake bakers I’m considering have bake our wedding cake - I would pick puffy heart love this book forever!! Thanks for considering me.
Oh my gosh! That book looks fabulous!! I wish I could make cakes like that!
Oh wow! Ms. Sylvia herself! Can’t wait to see that photo! I’m hoping to attend Engage 09!
I’d love to gift this to my mom, she loves baking and is making my wedding cake.
Awww a friend of my Uncles is doing our cake at cost this would be such a sweet treat to give as part of a thank you give. Of course I might just have to take a quick peak first
p.s. I LOVE CAKE!!!
Yay! Cake eye candy! I am soooo ready for some great inspiration for our cake!
Her sugar flowers are lifelike and you could almost smell them. Her detail is impeccable. Marie Antoinette may have said “Let them eat cake”, but Sylvia Weinstock could possibly add “But make it look as pretty as it tastes!”
Cake might just be the best part about the wedding…..uh, that is next to actually getting married! ![]()
Now THIS is my type of coffee book! I’d love to display that in my living room!
Thanks so much for sharing, Mrs. Bee! What a lovely book of edible inspiration!!
i just volunteered to decorate my friend’s wedding cake (Gulp) and desperately need the inspiration! ![]()
Beautiful! I decorate cakes as a hobby and would love to learn more!
Oh my gosh, Sylvia Weinstock is amazing! Her cakes are sooo out of our price range, but I still like to drool over pictures! And you’ve gotta love those glasses she wears! ![]()
I love looking at gorgeous wedding cakes. I’m so spoiled with all of the Food Network Challenges, Ace of Cakes, and every cake diva show.
This would be the perfect thing to win! Cake is one of those “make or break” elements of our wedding - I’m obsessed with cake (made my niece’s wedding cake), my fiance is obsessed with cake (although he’s in denial sometimes) and just as importantly, our guests are obsessed with cake - seriously, we ordered a significantly larger cake than suggested because we know they’ll tear it up.
Yum!
My gramma just offered to pay for our cake… I’d love to look over this book with her.
How generous of you Mrs. Bee! I have been drooling over her books at amazon since not only have I recently taken up baking but also because I’m searching for my own wedding cake inspiration.
I would love love to receive the book! My little brother and I bake cakes together and dabble in decorating. This would be an awesome addition for inspiration. =) He might not be too thrilled about all the flowers though ![]()
Am I too late? My BF is taking cake classes and will be making me shower cake. This would be a great gift for her!
Ohhh… I’ve been drooling over her cakes now that I’m a “bride to bee”
The cake on the cover is absolutely beautiful! I would love to get more inspiration from this book.
I looooooooove to bake and I collect cook books. This would be a fantastic addition to my collection that already has books from both sides of the Atlantic and the Caribbean. Not to mention a great inspiration for my upcoming wedding. AND my name is Sylvia. Isn’t this a sign ?

OH! I Love this!! I just don’t know why this is not already on my bookshelf!!
oh gosh…i would LOVE to own this. sis and I have dabbled in the wedding cake creation business, and this would just be the ICING on the… ![]()
The cake is the one thing FMIL and I are really collaborating on, and I would LOVE to be able to gift her this book!
Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your conference goodies!
I am a baker-aholic. Something Like Izzie from Grey’s. I would LOVE this one.
I would love this book. We have a meeting about our cake next month and I have no clue what I want.
Sylvia, won’t you please grace my office and clients with a showpiece of your beautiful work?
merci!
I am just about to start the cake process and I am so lost! I really have no idea what I want. Sylvia’a book would not only be eye candy, but a great resource as well. I would love to have this book.
Sounds like a great giveaway. I’d like to have this book as inspiration for my own cakes that I bake.
I could use this! We’re planning on having a very different cupcake cake. But I don’t want people to realize that they’re cupcakes.
Sylvia did our wedding cake and it was a design my husband created. We interviewed several well known cake designers in NYC and non could create it. But Sylvia did and it was fabulous. People are still talking about the design and that not only did it look good but it tasted wonderful. It is now four months after the wedding and people are still asking do we have any left. I also keep yearning for the cake over and over again. She is also a wonderful person to work with.
