    Spectacular! A true artist.

    Ron and his team are a dream maker and a true artist. Truly, he created the most incredibly stunning cake I have ever seen but it also tasted amazing. He incorporated elements from every part of my wedding to create a cake that described who my fiancé and I are. Ron wants nothing more than to make you happy and to make your wedding day a dream come true.

    Thank you Ron and team!

    Ron Ben-Israel Cakes's reply:

    Thank you, Cassidy, for the sweetest comments about your wedding cake. Working with you had been "like butter", and we enjoyed creating your cake very much! Ron and team.

    Spectacular

    Ron and his team were wonderful to work with for our wedding. The cake was absolutely beautiful and incorporated elements from the bride’s dress, our custom-crest, and sugar flowers of the same varieties as the rest of the floral decor throughout the event. It was truly a masterpiece and took our breath away when we saw it.

    We also loved that we were able to build several flavors of cake and icing into each tier and our guests still talk about how unique and delicious their slices were. Although our partnership with Ron was included and and arranged through Tavern on the Green, we cannot recommend the RBI team enough for a beautiful wedding cake.

    stunning and delicious cake !

    Ron Ben Israel designed the most delicious and beautiful cake for our daughter's wedding on 9/1/19. Our daughter and son in law had plenty of input to the cake design and flavor choices, and were thrilled with their wedding cake.

    Amazing Pastry Chef

    Ron Ben-Israel is an amazing pastry chef! He’s very professional, patient, and down to earth. For the cake tasting, he gives you plenty of time to try all the filling flavors and the cake flavors. He gives you ideas on what flavors go well with each other, which is really helpful. He also has 2 books full of ideas for wedding cake designs. We showed him pictures of what we wanted for the cake and he created a beautiful masterpiece! His sugar flowers are stunning and the cake was delicious! Our guests loved the cake! We highly recommend Ron Ben-Israel!

    Incredible Wedding Cake!

    Ron Ben-Israel is a world renowned brand in the wedding business, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. We went to a couple of cake vendors before choosing RBI, and we’re thrilled we chose wisely. He and his team are professional and run a very neat operation. The cake they created for our June 2019 was absolutely beautiful and delicious! As we had a traditional Greek wedding, Rob even had the brilliant idea to weave in a special flower that’s used during the ceremony. Their creativity has no limits, and the team will gladly tailor your cake to your desires. Beyond the visual aesthetic, the cake tasted amazing and we cannot wait to have the top tier next year! A+ on all fronts, and totally worth it!

    Spectacular Cake!

    We recently hired Ron Ben-Israel to design a cake for our wedding at Gotham Hall in NYC. We had high expectations for this cake as it had to live up to the beauty of our exquisite venue, visually incorporate elements of our wedding theme, cater to guests with very discerning taste buds, and accommodate food allergies with a gluten-free layer!

    The process of creating the cake with Ron Ben-Israel was a fun filled and delicious experience! He took to the time to meet with us personally to get a sense for the venue, our colors and floral arrangements, and other wedding themes. He showed us photos of many gorgeous cakes he’s designed to gauge our feedback on what we liked, which enabled him to create a custom cake based on a variety of themes. He also organized a wonderful cake tasting so we could select the type of cake and filling flavors for each individual layer inside.

    To say the cake exceeded our expectations is an understatement! Not only did the cake taste phenomenal, but it was a SENSATIONAL work of art! He decorated our cake with gorgeous pink peonies to match the bride’s bouquet - they looked so real we weren’t sure if they were edible! He also took an image of a custom monogram we planned to use on our dance floor and incorporated it into bottom layer of frosting. Ron Ben-Israel is a true artist who we highly recommend for a wedding or any event! We look forward to another family event to work with him again!

    Friends and family haven’t stopped talking about our wedding cake. And for good reason! Ron and the team at RBI Cakes are the best of the best. We’re so lucky we had them for our day! I’d recommend this bakery one hundred times over. They took our vision and ran with it—the finished product was more beautiful than we could have ever dreamed. Don’t hesitate to book!

    RBI is the couturier of wedding cakes. We were so lucky to have been able to work with him on ours, and it was named the "A Cake for a Royal Wedding" by Sophisticated Weddings. Thank you Ron!

    The cake from Ron Ben-Israel was part of our package from Tavern on the Green and we're so thankful it was! We didn't even know if we wanted a cake before we started planning the wedding. We ended up with the most beautiful and delicious cake I've ever seen/tasted. The team at RBI was wonderful to work with! They matched the cake to our invitations (a sage green to match the color of the tavern on the green) and it was beyond gorgeous!! I'm looking forward to the next excuse I have to plan a party just so I can hire them to make me a cake. If you don't already, follow them on instagram. They're always posting incredible photos!

    Words can't describe how happy my husband and I were, when we arrive to our wedding venue and saw our wedding cake, it was so beautiful and above our expectations. Ron Ben-Israel Cakes really did a wonderful job, the cake and icing was also delicious. It was the best decision we made to have our wedding cake made by Ron Ben-Israel. So elegant, soft yet masculine for our "grey pink blush wedding"

    A cake by Ron Ben Israel was included with our wedding package at the New York Palace, but I would choose him over and over again! We had our tasting with Ron, and he was incredibly pleasant, helpful, and totally understood our vision.

    Most importantly, the cake was delicious (and gorgeous)! There are so many options for flavors and fillings, you can truly create a cake that is uniquely yours. We can't wait to enjoy it again on our 1 year anniversary!

    We had an amazing cake for our wedding and I loved that Ron did not let me get side tracked with all the pretty things I was seeing in his showroom! He kept me on point and organized and actually was a bit of a mind reader even though he claimed he wasn't! At the end, what he proposed was exactly what I wanted!

    The cake was absolutely stunning and we got so many compliments from the guests! I am still saving my top layer for a special occasion in my freezer! Highly recommend!!!

    Ron Ben-Israel Cakes is truly the way to go when looking for a one of a kind, gorgeous and delicious cake. Ron and his team were fantastic to work with, always responsive and flexible with our needs. The cake was so stunning it almost felt like a crime to cut into but once we took our first bites it was so worth cutting!!! And the flowers he makes look SO real it is incredible. They can even be saved and displayed after the wedding and after a month to date they still look amazing on our dining room table!

    Highly recommend Ron Ben-Israel Cakes!!!

    What a pleasure it was to work with Ron!!!
    He is so nice and the most talented and creative cake designer out there. On top of that the cake itself was beyond delicious.
    All our guest ate it and some even had a second slice!
    When we met Ron for the first time, we discussed every aspect of our wedding to design a cake that would be in line with the decor, theme and colors.
    In my case, Ron got really inspired by my Jenny Packham dress and designed the whole cake to emulate the design of my dress. He put edible beading, sequins and gems on the cake. What girl can say no to a cake with gems on it?

    A true work of art!!

    I met with Ron Ben Israel to discuss ideas for our cake, he was a flurry of ideas and asked a lot of questions to make sure he could deliver on my vision for the cake. The execution was flawless and we were very happy with the end result.

    This was the only vendor I considered for my wedding cake. I'd seen him on the Food Network and his cakes are beautiful. He certainly didn't disappoint us on our day and we are still getting compliments about our cake 2 months after the wedding. Some say its the best cake they've had at a wedding!!

    Absolutely gorgeous yummy cake

    My cake was the prettiest cake I have ever seen! The florals are so real some guests thought they were actual flowers! I had 4 tiers and 3 flavors of cake/icing which everyone raved about. They seemed surprised that such a pretty cake could taste good too. The designing of the cake was super easy and we got to try some samples that were not on the menu but made at our request and we did include them in our final cake design. Almond cake with cherry icing, chocolate cake with mint chocolate icing, and lemon cake with raspberry jam and wild berry icing. Amazing.

    Thank you so much for this sweet and inspiring review of our work.
    It's been a pleasure collaborating with you on such a memorable occasion. Ron & Team

    Stunning and Delicious

    We were lucky enough that a cake from Ron Ben-Israel was included as part of our package at our wedding venue, and we could not have been happier with the wedding cake that Ron and his team produced. He and his staff were so friendly and made the tasting process fun (even more fun than any other cake tasting would be), but also designed a cake that exceeded our expectations. Ron understood what we wanted almost better than we did, designing a cake that was classic without being boring -- we received so many compliments! Not only that, but the cake was absolutely delicious! We can't wait until we can experience it again on our first anniversary! Thank you, Ron!
