LaTonya King launched a line of kosher baking products.
It’s easy to understand how a Baptist woman from Tennessee ends up producing Southern-style cake mixes. But the proverbial icing on top? They’re kosher.
King Preferred, run by LaTonya King, is perhaps the only non-Jewish, Black-owned kosher baking mix company in the world. Since 2018, her products – which are sold across the United States – have been certified kosher by the Orthodox Union.
Born in Union City, Tennessee (population 10,895), King now makes her home in Elkhart, Indiana, where she runs King Preferred. Her flavors include: cream cheese pound cake, chocolate cake and bread pudding mix.
