Meet Jayla, The 12-Year-Old Girl Serving Up Some Seriously-Good Baked Goodies In The RDU

"My name is Jayla Kee, I am 12 years old, and I love to cook and bake. I started cooking in 2020. Back when the world was in quarantine. And the more I cooked and baked, the more I started to love it."

How do you like to spend your time?

"I like to spend my time playing video games and making bracelets when I am not cooking or baking."

"Something that I really worked hard on this year was going to a brand new school. Since the pandemic, I was in virtual school for 5th and 6th grade... At first, I was lonely and had no friends.

Now, since being back in school, I have had many friends."

What’s your favorite recipe and why?

"My favorite recipe to make is Chocolate Chip cookies. It is my favorite recipe because I like to see how all the ingredients are mixed together to make a cookie.

You can also make them in different ways."

"I think kids go to school because they need an education to make a living for themselves. They need to be able to eat, sleep and have somewhere to live."

Do you have any goals (academic, sports, personal)?

"One goal of mine that I wish to conquer is to be a girl's Basketball star. I want this goal because I think it is a fun sport."

"I can be contacted by email at nthomaskee@gmail.com to place orders. Currently, I am selling Banana Pudding 13X9 inch pans for the holidays."
