Ron Ben-Israel Cakes is a renowned couture cake studio, celebrated for its innovative designs and impeccable craftsmanship. Founded in 1999 by master pastry chef Ron Ben-Israel, the studio first flourished in New York City’s SoHo before moving in 2014 to a 4,500-square-foot flagship bakery and design space in Manhattan’s Garment District.

Often described as “a piece of perfection,” Ron Ben-Israel Cakes is known for setting trends in the world of high-end celebration cakes. Its creations have been featured in countless books, films, TV shows, and publications, as well as gracing the most prestigious hotels and venues in New York.

Beyond the bakery, Ron Ben-Israel gained international recognition as the host and judge of Food Network’s hit show Sweet Genius for three seasons, and as a judge on Cake Wars and multiple holiday specials. These appearances, along with his reputation for artistry, have made him a global leader in cake design.

The studio continues to expand its influence through charity work with organizations like City Harvest, as well as through demonstrations and hands-on classes. Today, Ron Ben-Israel Cakes remains a symbol of luxury, artistry, and excellence in the world of custom cake design.
