RBA Board of Directors
Patti Stobaugh, owner of Conway, Arkansas based PattiCakes Bakery, is 16 years into her "encore career" and loving every minute of it. She left the corporate accounting world knowing she wanted to do something different. Achieving her dream of giving Conway a 100 percent from-scratch bakery has been an arduous task, but she’s almost there.
Patti and her husband David together own PattiCakes Bakery and Stoby's Restaurants. Stoby’s is an Arkansas legend, and one-time winner of World Cheese Dip Competition. "My husband is my partner - in business and life! We complement each other well... it's just hard to set work down when we go home!" says Patti.
Patti holds an accounting degree from Lyon College in Batesville, Arkansas. After graduating from Lyon, Patti worked in a number of different industries before moving on to become the CFO of Arkansas One Call, Arkansas’s utility damage prevention company.
After leaving Arkansas One Call, Patti decided to open a bakery in Russellville, across the street from one of their restaurants. The Russellville bakery saw much success, Patti decided to expand to Conway. The Conway bakery saw much success and astoundingly fast growth. After 6 months of working both bakeries, Patti made the difficult decision to sell the Russellville bakery to focus on the Conway store and spend more time with her family.
Patti is past President of the Board of Directors of the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Board of Directors for the Retail Bakers of America.
Patti and David are blessed with a big family - 4 children and 6 grandchildren. They are also active in Colorado Beagle Rescue, regularly opening their home to a foster beagle, in addition to their 5 rescued dogs.
