Cake Lady History:
Frances Kuyper, whose passion for cake decorating earned her the nickname “The Cake Lady" and prompted her to open the world's first cake museum, died
July 15, 2010
in
Los Angeles
after a lengthy illness. She was 92.
In cake circles, Kuyper was known for her pioneering use of the airbrush for decorating.
"She was an absolute legend. She took cake-decorating to its maximum height," said Ernie Molina, owner of AmeriColor Corp., an airbrush paint company that supplied Kuyper's edible paint and was a friend for 25 years.
Born near
Chicago
in 1918, Kuyper worked with her sister Charlotte in vaudeville as the singing "Schultz Sisters" before marrying. Later, she worked in a
Torrance
bakery before forming her own cake-decorating business.
Her vaudevillian experience gave her an outgoing personality that she eventually put to good use as she staged cake-decorating classes and demonstrations around the world. In the late 1990s, she was tapped to be a special correspondent on the " Howie Mandel Show." Developing a cult following on TV, she was later in demand for commercials.
"
Frances
was instrumental in igniting interest in cake decorating. She was so innovative — she was the first to airbrush a cake without blowing holes in the frosting. She will be missed," said Carolyn Mathewson
of the International Cake Exploration Societe.
