The Cake Plate & Tootie Pie Company

Redefining The Industry 

The Retail Bakers of America is excited to announce the appointment of Scott Calvert as the new RBA Board President. Scott is the Owner of The Cake Plate & Tootie Pie Co. out of Austin, Texas. For the next two years, this sharp and thoughtful business owner will lead the RBA into new and exciting opportunities that will help the association thrive. 

When I look back at my years in the baking industry, I recognize how important my RBA Connections have been. As a member of the RBA, I've made life-long friends, and have learned valuable and practical skills that I use in my bakery every day. This is why I'm so excited to be stepping in as the 2022-2024 Board President!
