About

At Reatha’s Cakes, every dessert tells a story. Founder and master baker Van Hairston, affectionately known as “The Cake Guy,” has been baking from scratch for more than 30 years. His love for baking was sparked by a cherished family tradition—a beloved cake recipe taught to him by his late sister, Reatha. What began as a heartfelt hobby of creating decadent cakes for family and friends has grown into a full-time passion and thriving business. Using real ingredients and time-honored techniques, Van crafts cakes that are as beautiful as they are irresistible, each one made to deliver that “just one more bite” finish. From classic favorites to custom creations, every cake is baked with care and the belief that people eat with their eyes first. With a vision of sharing indulgent, delectable cakes nationwide, Reatha’s Cakes blends tradition and creativity. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving something extraordinary, our mission is to make your moments unforgettable—one slice at a time.
