Keila’s baking journey began in Florida at the Publix Bakery, where she learned the basics and discovered her passion for baking. Her love for baking inspired her to teach herself even more after hours, relying on her intuition and occasional YouTube videos to refine her skills.
Before baking, Keila worked in a salon doing hair and nails and as a Direct Support Professional with the incredible individuals at Heritage Christian Services. When the COVID pandemic hit, Keila turned baking and decorating into a serious pursuit. The more cakes she made, the more inquiries poured in, fueling her journey as a professional baker. She feels “truly blessed” to have a gift that brings people things that are “beautiful, fun, and tasty” while also helping her navigate life’s challenges.
