It’s no secret that Latinos have the best desserts in the world. Treats such as Alfajores, Chocoflan, and Torta Bejarano show there are absolutely no limits when it comes to satisfying a sweet tooth. Seriously, the amount of sugar and condensed milk that goes into some of our most beloved recipes would easily ruin a big barrel of cement.
Realistic cakes have taken social media by storm. The incredible creations are as mind-blowing as Shia LaBeouf as a Cholo, or Kanye West in the White House.
Here are a few Latinx bakers that are taking their designs to the next level.
