ABOUT US

Cake And A Prayer was born out of a desire to find tangible and beautiful ways to say “I’m Praying For You”.  We are a purveyor of delectable pound cakes and unique gifts and believe the world can be changed through the power of prayer and the virtues of C.A.K.E (Compassion, Appreciation, Kindness, Encouragement).

In these times of unprecedented polarization, we have a  bold vision – a world where we share C.A.K.E and not hate. A world where the principles of C.A.K.E. guide interactions, where we choose to uplift each other and nurture connections, while building bridges of understanding instead of walls of division.

Our prayer for the world is Compassion, Appreciation, Kindness and Encouragement; a recipe for fostering a sense of belonging and togetherness. We invite you to join us on this “sweet” journey.

Kim Corley, Founder & Chief Steward Officer

Kim originally founded C.A.K.E And A Prayer in 2008, with a desire to provide a tangible manifestation of the words “I’m praying for you”. Kim grew the company to over 2,000 customers, 98% of whom said it was the most unique gift they’ve ever sent or received. The company was shuttered in 2011 after her husband’s job took them to DC. During that time, she received a continuous outpouring of requests to relaunch, and now feels divinely led to listen to God calling her back.

Since 2011, Kim has continued to refine her strategy, product, technology and business skills through her work as an executive at Deloitte and Capital One. This has prepared her for this new season and the relaunch of C.A.K.E And A Prayer.
