keay.k’s story

keay.k (pronounced cake) is a micro-bakery by meg keay, crafting goods from a digestive-friendly, “food is medicine” approach.

originating with a personal need for balanced gut-health, meg recipe developed cakes with wholesome, anti-inflammatory ingredients, after struggling with autoimmune issues.

an obsession for satisfying taste + the transformative link between the foods we consume + our hormonal health, keay.k emerged after a decade of dedicated recipe experimentation + a deep understanding of nutrition.

keay.k is not a “vegan” a bakery; it's a shared desire to link plant-based nourishment, indulgence + understanding of where our foods are sourced.

FAQs

  • we've reached a point in western culture where manmade, undernourishing ingredients are more affordable than supporting our local roots + foods that are whole, pure, + grown in nourishing soil. twisted right?

    keay.k uses ONLY the good ingredients for nourishing desserts that not only support good health, but support positive change in the food industry. these ingredients are also prepped for maximum nourishment in the digestive system.

  • in simple terms, we use ingredients that are good for your gut. ingredients that don’t typically disrupt the healthy functioning of a happy digestive system, thus eliminating feelings of “gluttony” or discomfort after a sweet treat.

    we base our recipes on modern digestion-healthy nutrition, along with ancient traditions that eliminate the key food groups which can typically harm the digestive system. This means our products are…

    plant based, gluten free, organic, nourishingly sweetened (so no chemically derived sugars, only sugars that still have their vitamins + minerals intact to balance out the digestive process + not cause harmful “sugar spikes”), indigestible starch + gum free, and no peanut, soy, corn, + vegetable or blended oils.

  • refrigerate upon arrival to last a good 6 days, or simply freeze upon arrival to last a month. to recapture the fresh-baked feels, warm your goods in the oven until the shell is slightly crisp + the inside is warm; approx 350 F for 5 - 6 mins is mwah.

  • currently anywhere within the u.s for a $16.50 flat rate. *for bulk orders of more than 14 items, please email info@keayk.com as shipping may alter slightly

  • sorry, it’s not the keay.k vibe. keay.k cares more about wholesome, pure, + typically anti-inflammatory ingredients over calorie counting. why? because every individual's digestive system processes + absorbs ingredients differently.

    we value foods that promote healthy body functioning, glowing skin, undisrupted hormone balance, + how ingredients are digested for optimum absorption of vitamins + minerals.

    we also care about variety + an all-round balance of ingredients + tastes instead of subscribing to chemically derived foods with no calories or nutrition value.

    keay.k products prefer to go beyond outdated labels that can be misleading for each individual product, person, + serving size with a single number.

    more on nutritional ingredients...

    meg seeks ingredients that are high in fiber + protein, like seasonal fruits, vegetables, seeds, + flours (like sprouted quinoa flour, for example).

    wholesome brown rice flour over sweet rice four. potato flour in raw form over baked, as it's prebiotic benefits are lost in hot temperatures.

    sourcing sugars in their purist form with vitamins + minerals intact + with a lower glycemic index.

    experimenting more with ancient gf grains + only using small amounts of natural starches, such as arrowroot, which has digestive benefits + is preferred by the body in smaller doses.
