The most successful person is the one who is most inspired. That is true in food and in life. Ron Ben-Israel

Repetitiveness and discipline are the secrets of cake decorating. The art comes from the meticulous technique, the way it does for a dancer. Ron Ben-Israel
When I celebrated my bar mitzvah, there was no cake. Today, there is no such thing as a bar mitzvah in the United States without a special cake. It can be even more complicated and expensive than a wedding cake, because bar-mitzvah cakes are often based on a particular theme. Ron Ben-Israel
For months I've been working on creating techniques to reproduce Swarovski crystals in sugar using the real stones to guide me. Ron Ben-Israel
There are divisions between a culinary chef and a dessert chef, also called a pastry chef. There are specializations within the pastry chef field. Some pastry chefs specialize in baking breads, while others are master cake designers. Each field requires an exceptional level of creativity and attention to detail. Ron Ben-Israel

I don't follow trends. I make each cake for a particular wedding, or event. Ron Ben-Israel
We used to be referred to as bakers and then we became known as cake decorators and now we are known as cake designers. I teach at the French Culinary Institute in New York and cake design is a legitimate profession. Ron Ben-Israel
