https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9109471/Food-Network-personality-Kerry-Vincent-died-75-undisclosed-illness.htmlFood Network personality Kerry Vincent has died at 75 from an undisclosed illness, according to a nonprofit organization she co-founded.
'It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing of Kerry Vincent earlier this evening,' a statement on the Oklahoma State Sugar Art Show's Facebook page read. 'Being a very private person when it came to all things not cake, she did not want to put her illness out there to the public.
'Unfortunately her fight has come to an end but she will no longer have any pain. She will be sorely missed by all who she has touched through the Sugar Arts as will as personally.'
---------------------------
An innovator in her field, Vincent 'invented unique techniques in sugar-craft, which include the Vincent Marquetry, and movement in stenciled or painted sugar flounces and skirting,' according to the Food Network.
In addition, in 2004, Vincent was put into the International Cake Exploration Societé Hall of Fame, and six years later, she was inducted into the Dessert Professional Hall of Fame.

I didn't recognize her name at first, but the picture did it. I remember her from judging a lot of "cake wars" type competitions. She will be missed!

I don't usually watch the sweets shows, but I used to watch some of the cake shows.amd I do remember her as being very good at her job. She will be missed.

I didn't recognize her name but as soon as I saw her picture I knew her, I know I'll miss her. R-I-P Kerry
