THIS IS MY LATEST UPDATE:
THIS IS MY ORIGINAL CAMPAIGN VIDEO:
Hello, there! My name is Karla Diaz Cano and I am the artist + baker behind Rawmona’s Kitchen. After 2 years of selling my treats at the Farmer’s Markets in Bend, Oregon, and many years of dreaming of owning my own food truck, I bought this 1955 vintage camper knowing it would be perfect place for Rawmona’s Kitchen’s new home. My plan is to renovate it and sell sweet and savory treats full of magical Mexican flavors. Tres leches, cinnamon-cajeta donuts, Mexican-style paletas (a.k.a. popsicles made with exciting flavors like mango-chili, hibiscus, tamarind, horchata) chamoyadas, elotes and more.
I was born + raised in Mexico and I want to offer my community delicious, wholesome sweets that honor my roots + nourish your soul. I am looking forward to creating a super fun, colorful experience when visiting the cart - and hopefully make this happen with your help! ❤️
I could not have gotten to where I am without the help of my community, near and far, and my hope is that with your contributions, I can transform this camper into Rawmona’s Kitchen. I am looking to raise $8200 by the end of the fall through crowdfunding so I can be up and running by Spring 2021.
You can contribute with any amount you can - from $10 up to $8200 (haha!). Honestly, anything helps! I am offering a combination some very cool gifts, including private baking classes (in-person and online), art prints, Tiklari jewelry, popsicles + donuts & much more in exchange for your contributions that will go directly to the renovation of the cart.
Please read the FAQ section at the end of this page for additional information and browse the contribution options below.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

FAQ’s
RISKS + CHALLENGES
Opening a food cart for the first time is pretty daunting. However, it is not the first time I venture into working hard to create something new. I am confident in the support of the Bend community (as well as the support from my community far from here). If I come across any business hardships, I am grateful I have people in my life + family who have are small business owners and entrepreneurs, some with lot of experience in the food industry.
I’ll be acting as business owner, manager, baker, designer and more in this project. It is a lot to take on but it is one of my dreams and I know hard work pays off. I am committed to making this happen - hopefully with your help!
I will be sharing updates on Instagram (@karladiazcano and @rawmonaskitchen) and asking for opinions, polls, etc… I would love for everyone to be part of this and have a say in the process of creating the cart. I cannot wait to see this project through and share the Rawmona’s Kitchen cart with all of you.
