What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

On "Cake Walk," The Best Thing I Ever Ate (Food Network) featured Cake Man Raven's signature red velvet layer cakes at the bakery's original Fort Greene, Brooklyn storefront. According to BET, owner Raven Dennis closed the Fulton Street shop in November 2012, citing rising rents in the gentrifying neighborhood. A Patch.com article described the closing as marking the end of an era for the Fort Greene business corridor.
