About Royal Cheesecake & Varieties
Royal Cheesecake & Varieties is a Raleigh bakery specializing in decadent, made-to-order cheesecakes and other desserts, run by husband-and-wife team Ken and Tamara out of a kitchen inspected and approved by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. Ken is culinary certified and ServSafe certified, and Tamara holds ServSafe certification as well as what the couple call her "grandma certified" baking pedigree, learned from her Mississippi-born grandmother. Ken's own baking roots go back to childhood, making pies from the pears and apples grown on trees in his backyard alongside his mother. Together they turned those family traditions into a business built around rich, fruit-topped cheesecakes, offering flavors that draw on classic combinations like strawberry, peach, and blueberry toppings over a traditional cheesecake base. Customers can find Royal Cheesecake & Varieties' desserts at their upscale Westgate Road bakery location in Raleigh, on their food truck touring the greater Triangle area, and at area festivals and community events, where the couple brings their desserts directly to customers. The business also offers corporate gifting options for companies looking to share a taste of their cheesecakes with clients or staff. Orders can be placed directly by phone or email. The Westgate Road shop opens Friday 4:00–6:00pm and Saturday 11:00am–3:00pm, with Wednesday and Thursday by appointment only; it is closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Rooted in the couple's Christian faith, expressed on their site through Proverbs 3:5-6, Royal Cheesecake & Varieties frames its mission around "Stepping Out on Faith" as it grew from a family hobby into a dedicated dessert business serving the Raleigh community.
Royal Cheesecake & Varieties was founded by husband-and-wife team Ken and Tamara, who brought over 15 years of combined baking experience to the business. Ken's love of baking began in childhood, making pies from pears and apples grown in his backyard alongside his mother, while Tamara learned her craft from her Mississippi-born grandmother. The couple combined these family baking traditions, describing their venture as "Stepping Out on Faith," to create a bakery built around decadent, made-to-order cheesecakes, eventually expanding from their commercial kitchen to an upscale bakery storefront and a food truck that serves customers throughout the Triangle region and at area festivals.
