The Corcoran GroupMay 10, 2010Definitely get the 'official' red velvet cake. Perfect moist cake & creamy cheesecake frosting. Go to the Bklyn store in person as the phone tends to go unanswered - must be all that demand for cake! Read more
Food NetworkAugust 5, 2011Ted Allen indulges his sweet tooth with Southern Red Velvet Cake from Cake Man Raven in Brooklyn, NY, on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Find more tips at FN Local. Read more
MimiNovember 1, 2011Great red velvet. The frosting is a little sweet for me, but def opt for pecans. Would be better at $4-5 a slice
Aaron WatfordMay 29, 2012Call before you go because they don't run their business correctly. They never have cake and you always have to wait when they do have cake.
Manuel BurgosNovember 23, 2010Great cake. Lines are no longer 20 people deep. Prob because they bake offsite. Always fresh. Worth the trip and expense.
Try Our "Alcapoco" Flavor Some May Call It "Green Velvet" But Its Actually Coconut. If You Don't Like Coconut Now, You Will Then.
Brandy WityakAugust 28, 2011The cake is worth every penny. Get some extra forks and take it next door to the beer garden.
Nkechi O.February 26, 2012Call ahead because sometimes he is randomly closed and that can be frustrating when you have a craving!
Eve StrickmanAugust 14, 2011Read all of the scathing customer service reviews before deciding if you're willing to risk a trip to this confectionery. No matter how good the cake is, the trip is not worth it if they're not open.
KevinDecember 4, 2010Been going there since the slice of cake was $4 now it's $7 and better. Best Cake Ever.
Bill UpdegraffJuly 3, 2011It is so good, but they are often sold- out so there is always a decent chance you'll be disappointed
Capricia BuchananNovember 28, 2010The pineapple cake is too die for but the red velvet is where it's at!
Grab an extra slice of red velvet cake. Trust me, it's really THAT good.
- Eve StrickmanAugust 14, 2011Don't go!!! I've been waiting in front for them to open for almost an hour and they should've been open for since 9am, according to the sign. It's almost 1pm. The frustration!!!
Lamarr B.September 6, 2010Officially over this place! The cake hasn't been good for a couple of years now. Definitely not worth 6 dollars per slice...waiting for another bakery to open up in this neighborhood!
