Who Are Your Favorite Cake Decorators?
Decorating By fourangelsmommie Updated 25 Jul 2006 , 1:32am by 4kids
Just wondering who your favorite cake decorators are.
I know Collette Peters, but who else should we try to 'inspire' to be someday, and do they have websites?
No one has a favorite cake decorator???? I know we have many talented and outstanding artists on CC, but surely someone has some favorites that they like and buy their books to look through.
Anyone??????
Hi, fourangelsmommie.
One of my all time favorite cake decorators is Margaret Braun. Her work is just great! Check out her website using the following link: http://www.margaretbraun.com.
I also love Colette Peters and of course my cake instructor Irene!
Mike is one of my all time favorites - I think he should have won in a couple of the Food Network shows, but they always seem to pick Colette over him. I like her too, though.

I like Colette's cakes but that is more because she taught herself and has done really well. I have a lot of respect for people who teach themselves to do amazing things. I am still new so I am sure I will one day find others.
Besides Collette & Margaret Braun, I also love Scott Woolley cakes. His flowers are soooo realistic and his designs are a real delight.

i like colette peters, no, i love her!

Toba
Kate Sullivan
Collette
warren brown
Sylvia W
Duff G
Jacques Torres - candies
I really admire a lot of people here. the cakes i've seen on this site are amazing. I wish i had someone closer to me that would be willing to teach me.
marj ~ You're right, there are many FINE decorators who belong to CC. I love to see all the fantastic cakes that are shown here.
I think though, ''fourangelsmommie'' was asking about the ''Big Professtionals".
oic...well, if she's asking about the professionals, then i have to say.. MARJ! ..just kidding! uhmm..i would probably say... mike, susan w..and again, colette peters..
Well,
Lindy Smith, Alan Dunn and Debbie Brown are my favs. I actually don't care that much for Collette, Margaret or Kerry..Let me just say, IMHO (in my humble opinion) sometimes less is moreand when I was trained, it was just after the minimalist period
Irene (Adven68 here on CakeCentral) is so amazing. There is just something about her cakes that are overwhelming to me. She's an amazing artist for sure!!
Another one is Sylvia Weinstock. Check out Sylvia's website http://www.sylviaweinstock.com/index_fl4.html
Wow, I didn't know about alot of the cake decorators mentioned. This forum really opened my eyes! I have a lot of studying to do.
I think Ron Ben Israel is awesome! Unfortunately, he doesn't have a lot of pics on his website - but his work is AMAZING! I also love Elisa Kraus from Confetti Cakes. And I love Marina from Just Cakes. I also love Mike from Mike's amazing cakes - he got me interested in decorating a LOOONG time ago when he was on Reading Rainbow.... anyone remember that ? One of my favorite episodes
Of course I love Collette Peters. Duff Goldman is cool too - but I love Collette more..... oh and Bronwyn - I can't remember if that's how you spell her name - she's been in a couple Food Network challenges and she teaches in TX. She's awesome!

I understand some of thoes cakes can be waaaaay too much. thoes victorian grand cakes just look ugly to me but collette has some that are simpler that I like. I do like the "nights sky" cake she made.
Meghan89's cakes are my favorite. Her designs are completely unique. Art inspires me, decorating does not.
(Marj and Monica.....thank you soooo much!!!!)
I also love all of the above mentioned....some more than others...but they are all great!
One of my favorite cake artists is named Susan Morgan....she has inspired me many times....including to mail a cake!.....her cakes are FANTASTIC!!! This is her website...

I have to say that my hubby is my all-time favorite cake decorator...just because he is so cute and cuddly, kind of like a stand-up bear cake.
If you mean FAMOUS decorators, I'd say that Bronwyn is tremendous. I also admire Mike from Mike's Amazing Cakes.
If you mean soon to be famous decorators from Cake Central, Adven68 is my absolute idol. I'm still waiting on the book with instructions! Of course, Boween ranks high on my list, along with Meghan89, CJF, Ginger08, Tuggy (of course!), not to forget the girls, Kitagirl and Flourgrl. Lot's of other amazing talent here as well!
I really love the work of Boween and Boonenati. I like their style and creativity. I can only dream of making a cake like theirs! There are so many good decorators on this forum. I love to look in the galleries for inspiration.
I went to her website and all I can say is WOW What beautiful cakes!! I love the ones that look all glittery, just awesome!!!!
Kate Sullivan. She is from New York. Soemone should get her recent book. Kate's cake decorating by Kate Sullivan. She was on the food network she has beutiful cakes
mmmm, lets see, I sure like that girl that won the birthday cake competition on FoodNetwork, Marina Sousa (I may have her name wrong ), Mike's Amazing Cakes, and Ron Ben Israel.
Collette would be my first choice. She takes
the time to teach others.
Scott clark woolley for his sugar flowers
Dede Wilson who has a great book as well as cakes.
Mainly, I like the ones who share their tips on decorating.
Toba Garrett for her exquisite piping
Scott Clark Woolley and Alan Dunn for there breathtaking realistic flowers and foliage
Ronald Winbeckler for his amazing figure piping, cake sculpture, and cake cartooning and
Nick Lodge for his overall superb cake design & cake styling technique.
I think most people right here on cake central are pretty fabulous. Everybody has unique talent. I couldn't pick a favorite.

I really like the work of Bronwen Weber. I saw her work at the competetion here in Asheville, NC with the gingerbread house competition on Food Network (back in '05... I believe) and then she won the Wedding Cake division at the Oklahoma Sugar Art Show also on Food Network in 2005. Her work is really cool.
