The original Cake Man Raven is a Boutique of the famous NY baker Raven Dennis.
He opened the confectionery in 2000 in Harlem, an epicenter for black culture, history, and music. Cake man`s bakery became popular so fast, that tourists and locals alike were queuing up to get their hands on his cake creations.
Raven`s cake art is inspired by his African American heritage, as well as by his Caribbean roots. The cake man`s bakery was featured in several documentaries and articles, including the Cooking Channel`s “Unique Eats” program.
In 2008 Dennis took his famous cakes from his Harlem bakery to the Sci-Tech Awards at the White House where President Obama celebrated innovation and achievement in science worldwide.
