Sylvia Collins

Sylvia Collins baked her first birthday cake for her little sister when she was twelve, and it sank right in the middle. A few hundred cakes later, she shares her favorite cake and dessert recipes on Cakes Mania from her kitchen in Columbus, Ohio. She is a mom of three, so there is never a shortage of volunteers for the leftover frosting.
