Piece of Cake

Cake Hero creations feature buttercream frosting with fondant decorations, the latter of which take the form of everything from characters from popular children's stories, to adorable kawaii (Japanese for "cute") creatures to delicate flowers. (Torres also creates cakes for adult occasions, and those range from glamorous to whimsical to cakes with a bit of an edge.)
