Ron Ben-Israel Chopard Cake

Journal Entry: Thu Jul 15, 2010, 12:26 PM








After some research, I finally found out that the Chopard cake I was asked to make is originally a design by the famous Ron Ben-Israel of Ron Ben-Israel Cakes in New York!!



Can I just say... this guy is one of my idols! And while my cake will probably never be as famous as his, nor have Sir Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley and a bevy of other celebrities sing it's praises, I must admit that I am a little proud that I've had such an opportunity to re-create one of his designs!

And on hindsight... I'm guessing my price tag was quite a bargain lol...

Wonderful job you did, I love you work, if they think you are good enough to recreate a cake master mind piece, that should tell you something about your previous post. It's obvious you aren't in the right position from a marketing strategy point of view, your cakes are really top notch, so the only thing left is to market yourself. We all know people will pay for a name, it may be worth advertising yourself, your work deserves it and so do you!

Just wonderfull!
I have to admit I even like you're necklace and the watch better. ^^~

And to tell you something ...well, funny, because the world is a little village.
Some of my co-workers from the business where I work right now, went to Basel (Suiss) in March to work at the big exhibition where Chopard presented all they're new samples.
That's the reason why I was like: Whoa, Chopard! Makes you think of something. =D
Sadly I didn't go, because I had something else to atend to.

Awesome! Did they see these particular pieces at the exhibition?

Do you know if it was at the exhibition in Basel?
Could be that they had several shows around the world, even so it would make sense to have it there, because the manufactur is in Basel as far as I know. =D

Hmm, I have no idea. I'm told these animal pieces are part of their newest collection though...

Both are absolutely gorgeous cakes and yours stands up well against his lol. I would have to make sure to take a breather every once in a while or I would end up cracking under the pressure of having to replicate something that extravagant; quite a bit of responsibility and high expectations lol.
