During 69 years of business, bakery ingredient manufacturer KELMY has gone through many evolutionary changes and continues to do so, with the launch of a new corporate logo introduced in 2019.

Established in 1953 by Antonio Miquel Sirvent, KELMY initially specialised in manufacturing and supplying superior quality products and raw materials to the bakery, confectionery and ice cream industries. Essentially a family-run corporation based in Jijona on the south east coast of Spain. KELMY retains it’s manufacturing traditions, still using centuries-old recipes handed down from generation to generation, running alongside modern manufacturing methods and technological advances.

In recent years KELMY has expanded it’s operations and now also supplies superior quality gluten free (Halal and Kosher certified) products to a constantly growing global audience, who are enjoying the delicious and unique taste that is making KELMY a bakers’ and cake decorators’ favourite!

In 2012 David’s international teaching journey was in full swing as he was being invited to teach at many international cake decorating academies around the world. During a teaching event in taking place at Gaudir Cake Decorating Academy located in the beautiful and historical port city of Dénia located on the Mediterranean coast of eastern Spain, David was contacted by KELMY CEO who requested to participate in the David Cakes free-hand cake decorating experience, creating along side other international students also attending the event.

After meeting members of the ‘KELMY family’ in Dénia and enjoying a most successful cake decorating training event, David flew back home to prepare for his next international teaching adventure.

A few weeks later David received a telephone call from KELMY inviting both David and his technical assistant Edward to return to Spain and attend a meeting at KELMY corporate headquarters located in the beautiful mountains of Jijona – 20 km north of Alicante.

With a complimentary flight tickets from KELMY in hand, David and Edward left Liverpool to embark on a journey that would ultimately take them both on new and exciting cake decorating adventures spanning the globe, for years to come!
