Culinary school was always my greatest dream. In 2018, I took a leap of faith, left my job, and enrolled to study pastry arts.

When the world changed in 2020, due to Covid,  my school shut down, and like so many others, I found myself lost.

Through faith, I found peace in baking cakes adorned with fresh flowers, and sharing them with the people I loved. Day and night, I tested recipes and styles, and I soon discovered the fragrant, wild, world of olive oil cakes, which became my signature offering. Touched with honey and florals from local farms, their richness and understated elegance felt like home.

As my craft + small business evolved, so did my longing for the landscapes that inspired it. Drawn to wildflowers & open skies I began spending time in Montana. Vast valleys and mountain light deepened my appreciation of simple ingredients.

Today, Raven Prairie lives between two landscapes that have shaped its heart... the wooded forests of Arkansas and the wide open plains of Montana. I source my ingredients from, and live between these two spaces, for together, they inspire a collection of cakes rooted in seasonality, natural beauty and honest ingredients.
