Sixteen-year-old self-taught baker Heber Clawson (@cakesbyheber) constantly bakes up colorful creations to share on Instagram. There?s also the added bonus that he shares his cakes IRL with local friends in his small Utah town. ? This weekend, he?s in NYC for the very first time for the #NYTFoodFestival. Heber will be taking part in two live demos to show off his skills. ?I?m most excited to be in the atmosphere of a big city,? he says. ?I?m also super excited to meet new people that are interested in the same things I am.? ?
