Sylvia Weinstock, the Fabergé of wedding cakes, is 89 and still at it, fashioning stupendous special-occasion confections. She will be at the Museum at Eldridge Street to talk about her life and loves and help celebrate Tu B’Av, a holiday that’s like a Jewish Valentine’s Day. There will be music, food, drinks and readings of love letters.
