Fantastic. Walked by, saw it. Couldn't resist. Turned around and got a slice. Was walking away and a man got up and introduced himself as the owner. Sweet guy. Cracked open the cake and... you gotta try it.

Cake was good. Nice slice for $10 which I divided for 2 days. It was my first time having one of cakemans slices. I know he's renowned for his red velvet but I couldn't do my double chocolate cake like that. I'll be back to try his other varieties.

Every time I was in the city I would stop and grab two slices. Hated he closed but a great reason to head to his new storefront in Harlem.

I've walked past Cake Man Raven's spot on 135th countless times but have always been confused as to whether I can just walk in and grab a slice. You can't walk into the shop as there isn't any area for customers and it seems like the door is usually locked. Today I finally attempted to actually acquire some cake because I saw someone at the counter through the window. The signs outside the bakery are confusing because they state that slices are only available on select days via social media drops but it doesn't seem like that's the case anymore. When I went to grab a slice there were quite a few whole cakes available as well as slices of red velvet, red velvet with nuts, chocolate, carrot, etc. Since it was my first time here, I had to go for a slice of the infamous red velvet cake. I was really eager to try this slice and somehow had the patience to wait until I got home to try it. Cake Man Raven has apparently baked cakes for the likes of Oprah and Jay Z so my expectations were high. The slice was large with three layers of cakes frosted with thin layers of cream cheese frosting. The cake was soft and the frosting had just the right amount of sweetness & tang. I've had many slices in New York and while it was great, I can't say this was my absolute favorite. I also felt that $10 for a slice of cake is a high price point, but I guess you can charge whatever you want when you've made a name from yourself.

The ABSOLUTE BEST red velvet cupcakes in all of NYC. Cake Man Raven is ORDER AHEAD ONLY but is very responsive- just send them a text and they'll get back to you. Follow them on social media as they do have cake slices available most days and will post when you can come by for a slice (only certain hours). 100% worth the planking ahead as they are consistently a hit at every party/gathering. Ultra fresh and delicious.

Delicious yummy soft voice. Amazing treat yourself. It was my birthday. My family got me red velvet cupcakes. We ate them all in seconds so yummy. Service was was excellent. Go check them out and get your cupcake and have a great time
