Davia’s German Baking Journey
Hallo, I’m Davia
Thank you for joining me at Raven Cakes Bakery—my little German food blog and micro bakery born from a love of Oma’s recipes. What started as sharing breads and cakes at farmers markets quickly became more, as customers’ stories of childhood memories inspired me to teach hands-on classes. Together, we celebrate the joy of baking, build new traditions, and honor God’s provision—symbolized by the “raven” in our name. Every loaf, every cake, and every class is a chance to connect, give back, and create sweet memories. I’m honored to share this journey with you.
Where did it all begin?
My love for baking began with my Omas recipe book.
After moving to America, I missed German breads and desserts, which inspired me to start my micro bakery. As I shared my treats, people often asked, “Can you teach classes?”
This was the start of merging my micro bakery with a blog to share recipes and bring German baking to your home.
Best Part about Baking?
At the farmers market, customers shared their love for my desserts not only for their flavor but also for the memories of their Oma/Mama and time in Germany. After being asked about teaching classes, I found the idea of using my platform to help YOU learn German baked goods exciting and fulfilling.
Let’s celebrate our connections and create new memories together with delicious desserts. Thank you for allowing me to share my passion through baking!
Why the name “Raven Cakes Bakery”?
Throughout my life, I’ve seen God’s goodness in my life and my family’s. When naming my bakery, my husband suggested “Raven Cakes” as ravens symbolize God’s provision in the Bible. This resonated deeply with me.
It reflects how God has blessed us and our mission to help others. Last year, I donated a portion of my baking income to friends in the Middle East affected by war and supported various local causes in Trenton.
Luke 12:24
Let’s Work Together
Interested in collaboration? I would love to offer a baking class where we dive into the heart of authentic German baked goods! Whether you want to learn how to make traditional treats or are interested in ordering freshly made delights, let’s connect! Fill out some information, and I’ll be in touch shortly. I can’t wait to share the joy of German baking with you!
