Episode 31 - With guest Ron Ben-Israel of Ron Ben-Israel Cakes

The Anthony Vazquez Show

"Just like cake, we always rise!" On this episode of the Anthony Vazquez Show, it is our absolute pleasure to have on a celebrated and beloved pasty chef Ron Ben-Israel of Ron Ben-Israel Cakes. His artistry is legendary and he is truly America’s cake maestro, the wizard and darling of the industry. His specialty and wedding creations are consistently featured in national periodicals, including Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides Magazine and New York Magazine and are also prominently highlighted in books, such as Vera Wang on Weddings.

Anthony sits down with Ron to talk about Ron's upbringing—being the child of Holocaust survivors, growing up around baking, and always having a sweet tooth. However, he had never expected to go into baking or confectionary, and instead, inspired by his parents, he had gone into practical arts. Ron talks about fate leading him to baking through life's circumstances that included walking into Betty van Nostrand master class and having Martha Stewart reach out to him to design cakes for her magazine. Anthony and Ron talk about a myriad of topics that range from the differences between New York wedding market vs the rest of the US, the pressures of servicing high end clients, Ron's fascination for America's culture and his heart being set on New York as his home, and much more.
