The Original Cake Man Raven is a must-visit for cake lovers in NYC and is recognized as one of the best black-owned businesses in New York State. Known for their red velvet cakes and cupcakes, this spot is a hit for birthdays or holidays. The cakes are loved by all generations, with options like coconut and chocolate. The red velvet slice is a standout, praised as the best ever, with great flavor and a moist texture, though some find the frosting extremely sweet. While ordering ahead is a must, the freshness and taste are worth the wait. Customers recommend getting there before noon to grab a few slices. Follow them on social media for updates on available cake slices. Perfect for any party or gathering, these treats will leave you wanting more, though some slices like the yellow cake with chocolate frosting can disappoint. The slices are huge, making them worth the price for many, and the overall service has received high praise.
