Sylvia Weinstock of Sylvia Weinstock Cakes
Thursday, January 8, 2009 at 10am
The 54th Washington Antiques Show
The Katzen Arts Center at American University
4400 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, DC
You are cordially invited to Focus on Style featuring Sylvia Weinstock
-- a slide presentation and book signing celebrating the grand dame of
cake design, Sylvia Weinstock. Sylvia makes cakes that astonish the
palate and dazzle the eye. Her cakes have graced the tables at society
weddings, celebrity birthday parties, and inaugural balls.
Sylvia's upcoming book, Sylvia Weinstock's Sensational Cakes, provides
an insider's tour of her world -- the fabulous fetes where her cakes
take center stage and the artisanal workshop where she and her
assistants bake and embellish these confectionery masterpieces. Best of
all, she reveals some of her secrets: recipes for cakes, frostings and
fillings that will make your own guests stand up and applaud.
Guests are invited to meet Sylvia Weinstock at the reception following
the presentation, as where you may sample Sylvia's delicious cakes and
enjoy sparkling wine from King Family Vineyards of Crozet, VA.
Additional sponsorship generously provided by Fiduciary Trust Company
International and Godiva Chocolatier. Copies of Sylvia's book will be
available for purchase.
On view during the event will be a series of fantasy dining tables
created by Neiman Marcus, using the elegant dinnerware that has made
Neiman Marcus a favorite resource for hostesses nationwide. These
elegant tables will provide inspiration for your next event, whether it
be a formal inaugural banquet or an intimate dinner for two.
