Kelley was born and raised in Buford Ga. She is a wife, a mother of three, and a grandmother of two. From the age of seven, she spent most of her time in the kitchen with her mother and grandmother cooking up savory dishes. This is where she fell in love with the art of cooking. For many years she maintained a professional career as a custom cake artist. Because of her love and passion for food, she didn’t want to limit herself to just baking cakes. She started cooking traditional food and creating her own recipes. She is now a food blogger, producer of her own cooking channel, and published author of the book Cooking Up Something Good With Kellz.
