Introducing Cake Hero

A New Jersey native, art history major and veteran of the NYC sweet scene (she worked at artisan candy shop Papabubble) the self-taught Torres began her baking career as a hobbyist making cakes for friends. After several years of consistent and growing demand, Torres decided to go pro, and in 2012 Cake Hero was born.
