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 in Los Angeles after a lengthy illness. She was 92.
For the last dozen years Kuyper had lived at the Hollenbeck Palms retirement home in Boyle Heights and maintained a mini-cake museum in its basement.
She opened her first cake museum in a house in Pasadena in 1994. It displayed about 150 cakes — some up to 65 years old and hardened from age.
