ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) - In February, we are highlighting Black history and showcasing Black excellence as part of our Black History: Voices of Virginia Special.

To celebrate, we invited local baker Lakesha Smith, owner of Keke’s Kandies & Kakes. We had the pleasure of trying her best-selling dessert, strawberry shortcake, and learned about her journey in starting the business.

If you’re interested in placing an order or following Keke’s Kandies & Kakes, you can connect with her on Facebook and Instagram.
