The remarkable skill of Cuban talent is showcased in various fields, and the realm of baking is no exception. JM Custom Cakes (@jmcustomcakes), a Cuban baker based in Naples, Florida, has captured the attention of TikTok users with his stunning fondant creations.

Recently, he shared a video featuring a cake covered in sugar paste that astonishingly resembles a shoe. The intricate detail and craftsmanship displayed in his work have left many followers in awe.

These fondant or sugar paste cakes offer nearly limitless customization, making them perfect for those looking to impress at special events. However, their rising popularity has sparked a debate among Cubans on social media: Would you prefer an artistic cake that resembles a work of art or the classic, flavorful Cuban meringue cake with its distinctive taste and texture?

While some admire the creativity and meticulous effort involved in these 3D cakes, others lean towards the nostalgic and traditional flavor of meringue. What about you, which one would you choose? JM Custom Cakes undoubtedly illustrates that Cuban baking has room for both innovation and tradition.
