Hi I'm Joy Edington, owner and head 'chef' of KeyTones & Cake LLC--Welcome, and thank you for visiting our site! We are a USDA licensed home bakery and small business, offering decadent, artisan, gluten free and sugar-smart cheesecakes, cakes, cookies, dessert boards, and dessert for breakfast delicacies. Our desserts love you back, because they help to keep you on track with your health, fitness, and dietary goals. And, they are the best tasting, gluten free sugar-smart indulgences that you can buy! It is true, that you can have your cake and eat it too. You can celebrate without having to make exceptions that blow your hard-earned goals.
Why the name "KeyTones & Cake"? In short, it tells the story of the overlapping phases of my life. "Key" and "Tones", because my first phase of life was about voice lessons, vocal competitions, collegiate and church choirs and praise teams, celebrations that included lots of non-ketone, sugary treats, and a continuing love of classic rock and praise music.
"Tones" and "Cake" because the next phase was about fitness, exercise, and diet, and an awakening to the damage sugar and gluten can do to the body. And yet, all the way through raising my children, obtaining an undergrad in Exercise Physiology, being a personal trainer and group fitness instructor (so still music!) for over a decade, I continued to struggle with the extra weight. During this phase I became even more convinced that exercise and maintaining a healthy weight would combat much of the family history of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, etc. (There were good things passed down as well, and I do very much appreciate my family!)
So lots of reprogramming required, educating myself about exercise, weight training, and finding the right food program--one that didn't leave me feeling deprived and so restricted. Girl gotta have cake! Fast forward to roughly 10 years ago, I was introduced to a faith-based food program that coincidentally took both gluten and sugar out, showed me satisfying alternatives for the foods I loved the most, and the weight left almost immediately and never came back!
Finding great tasting low carb, sugar smart and gluten friendly desserts can be next to impossible, am I right? You work so hard to eat right and exercise, and you don't want to blow it--but who wants to be the bad guy and say "No" at every celebration, because your only other option is to eat the sugar- and gluten-laden desserts? THAT’S why I started KeyTones & Cake!
So now, I don’t have to choose and neither do you--you can have party worthy desserts that taste great and keep you on track. What are you waiting for?! Give our gluten, keto, and diabetic friendly indulgencies a try and you will see, how delicious low carb can be!
Warmly, Joy
