Headed by a former member of a White House disability task force, the dedicated Piece of Cake Bakers founders and management also includes a third-generation baker, an internationally renowned celebrity cake decorator and a world-class chocolatier. Here’s a quick look at the Piece of Cake Bakers team and the variety of talents they are using to make the training program a success.
