We know many of you have been asking where we’ve been 🤍 and we wanted to take a moment to share honestly.

Before we are a business, we are a ministry. From the very beginning, Ray’s Bakery has existed for more than bread—it exists so people can encounter God through the food we make and the love we pour into it. As we’ve grown, we’ve felt the need to pause, rest, and realign our hearts to be sure we’re still walking in obedience to that original calling.

This season of rest is intentional. It’s a time of prayer, reflection, and renewal. When we started this walk of faith we knew that is felt seasonal and only God knows when that season is up —so when we return, we do so refreshed, rooted, and ready to continue in whatever capacity God has for us come mid February 2026.

Thank you for your patience, your encouragement, and your continued support. It truly means more than you know. We’re so grateful for this community and for the grace to rest when God says “pause.”

Love, Ray.

✨🎄 A Night to Remember 🎄✨

What a privilege it was to serve at the Chick-fil-A Christmas Party this year. Between the beautiful night, joyful conversations, and the spirit of the season, it was truly one for the books. We’re so grateful to be invited into spaces where celebrations, community, and good food come together.

As we wrap up the year, we have only TWO event spots remaining for the rest of 2025. If you’re planning a holiday party, office gathering, or end-of-year celebration, we’d love to serve your group and make your night just as sweet.

Thank you, Chick-fil-A, for trusting Ray’s Bakery to be part of such a special evening.

📩 Reach out soon to reserve one of the final spots!

✨ LAST DAY AT LOBLOLLY ✨

Yesterday you all showed so much love — we sold completely out 🥹

But don’t worry… we’re freshly restocked with warm brioche donuts, gooey s’mores brownies, and rich espresso buttercream brownies that are calling your name!

We are starting something new called "Knead to Know Tuesday" Where we test the science behind baking to see what really makes or breaks your baked goods.

Today’s question: Do I really have to proof my dough?
Short answer: yes — and here’s something most people don’t know. 👇

When dough proofs, yeast doesn’t just make bubbles…
It also releases natural enzymes that change the flavor of your dough.
These enzymes break down starches into sugars, which is why a properly proofed dough bakes up sweeter, softer, and more golden — all without adding anything extra.

On the left, we baked the dough right after shaping.
➡️ Dense texture, tight crumb, and very little natural sweetness.

On the right, we waited until it was puffy and passed the poke test.
➡️ Beautiful oven spring, gooier center, and a richer, deeper flavor thanks to those enzymes doing their thing.

So yes, proofing gives you a better rise…
But it also reminds us that good things develop in the waiting — in the quiet, unseen moments where growth is happening even if we can’t see it yet.
Just like dough, we are being shaped, strengthened, and sweetened in the process.

Love, Ray 🍯
