"A delicious plate of sushi, a glistening avocado, grilled cheese and potato chips-it may sound like ordinary food, but when a kitchen knife cleanly slices into them, revealing the wondrous mix of cake crumbs and frosting, you know you have another masterpiece by cake artist Michelle Heston, owner of Heston Cakes. "It's a piece of art that's meant to be enjoyed and then consumed," Heston says proudly of her creations. "Most people truly don't believe it's a cake until they cut into it, and that's a big wow.""
"Heston Cakes creates uniquely themed cakes and treats tailored specifically for its recipients. "Whether it's personality, fashion, a favorite food... I think it brings people happiness, especially if you can create a bespoke cake that speaks to that person," Heston says. For Heston, her hobby-turned-passion reflects her "over-the-top" personality. "I think a dessert is the center of attention... It's a little bit indulgent, and for me, if I can make it highly personal that's a win.""
