“You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy dessert and that’s kind of the same thing”
Baked Fresh, Rotates Weekly
How It All Started
I’ve loved baking since I was 12. Any free hour I had, I spent in the kitchen experimenting for fun. I was the kid who asked for baking tools, ingredients, and mixers for every birthday. That passion only grew stronger when I moved to Utah in 2022 and realized how hard it was to find the kind of desserts I missed from home: not-too-sweet treats made with flavors like matcha, black sesame, and injeolmi.
So, I started baking them myself in my small dormitory kitchen.
In November 2023, I baked our very first batch of Basque cheesecakes and Korean-style cookies and shared them on Instagram. What started as a simple page to show desserts I loved making quickly turned into something bigger. Friends started ordering through DMs… then friends of friends… and soon I was baking more than we ever expected.
By summer 2024, we built our first website, consistently selling out at farmer’s markets, and watched customers travel across the valley just to pick up our desserts. That was the moment we realized Kyookie wasn’t just a hobby anymore, it was a community.
Today, we bake out of a commercial kitchen and deliver to two local cafés, Space Tea and The Tea Barn, where our weekly drops consistently sell out. And we’re just getting started.
Our hope is to open Kyookie’s first flagship café and eventually expand across Utah and beyond, sharing Korean dessert culture with as many people as possible.
