About Kitsby: Inspired by childhood memories of baking days past, Kitsby (Kits-by-you) was made to bring people closer through sharing sweet moments and delicious desserts together. We believe that good food becomes great because of the meaningful experiences shared in the kitchen and at the table. That's why here at Kitsby, we not only have a sweet tooth for the sweet stuff, but also for the people, the laughter, and the fun that comes with food. Our purpose is to spread happiness through creative desserts and pastries that highlight exciting ingredients and flavors.

Kitsby grew out of a love of baking and a craving for a taste of home. Now we invite you to come with us as we try to make life a little sweeter, one bite at a time.
