Susan Kritzberg & Katie McCall (Kritzberg) are a mother-daughter team, and after years of demand for their gourmet desserts and specialty cakes, they decided to open their baking company in September 2012.
Self-proclaimed “sweet tooths,” Susan and Katie are not afraid to admit that they’re pretty picky when it comes to finding a good dessert, let alone one that’s gluten-free. While they didn’t begin their careers as gluten-free bakers, Katie’s personal gluten intolerance paired with the growing need for freshly baked, GF items – not frozen or prepackaged, full of preservatives — set the ball in motion. Without hesitation, they got busy testing and developing a variety of recipes, which have now resulted in a full line of pastries and cakes that are so delicious, even those who don’t eat gluten-free are coming back for more!
Susan’s 30-plus years of entertaining and catering for large crowds combined with Katie’s professional culinary training at Le Cordon Bleu-Chicago and hands-on work in some of the city’s top restaurants and bakeries has spelled a true recipe for success. Their refined palates, customer service, attention to detail and unapologetically high standards have allowed them to create products that are wholesome, decadent, and above all – safe to consume. You’ll discover that many of their desserts are actually family recipes that tell a story, inspired by fond memories of their rural, Midwest upbringings, travels around the world, and life’s simplest pleasures … which keep them busy baking new creations every day!
