ABOUT US

Our Company

At CT Bakery, we believe joy belongs in the everyday—and we’ve built our business around delivering it, one bite at a time. From hand-finished mini donuts to full-scale custom programs, everything we do is driven by creativity, care, and a love for making joy go round!

We started small in 1977 and grew through passion, grit, and a relentless drive to do things better. Today, we’re proud to be the team behind Canada’s most craveable mini donuts, and a trusted partner to retailers and foodservice operators across Canada and the USA.

We’ve built our reputation on standout quality, flavour, and variety, backed by a production model that’s nimble, customizable, and agile. While others chase automation, we’ve found the sweet spot between craftsmanship and scale—blending the precision of technology with the artistry of hand-finishing to create a consistent and superior product.

Happy customers are at the heart of our work. Whether it’s a classic Boston Cream or a bold seasonal launch, we obsess over taste, texture, and detail—making sure every product delivers a little moment of joy to someone’s day. Because at the end of the day, we don’t just make donuts – We make joy go round!

Our Story

We’ve been in the business of baking donuts since 1977, when CT Bakery first opened its doors. Built from the ground up, CT Bakery was known for doing things the old-fashioned way— carefully, creatively, and with a whole lot of heart. When Andy Sendel came on board, that heart met hustle. From compliance to craftsmanship, Andy brought a bold new vision to the table—one that helped elevate operations, earn global certifications, and scale the business to meet the demands of major national retailers.

Did you know…

CT Bakery was the first to bring the mini donut to market in Canada—a breakthrough idea that reshaped how people think about indulgence. More than just a trend, it was a fresh, joyful way to treat oneself more regularly. That spirit of innovation still drives the company today.
CT Bakery was also the first to perfect and bring the Thaw & Serve donut to market—long before it became the industry standard. We saw an opportunity to simplify bakery operations while enhancing freshness and speed, without ever compromising on quality. We reimagined the donut: fully finished, beautifully decorated, and ready to serve straight from the freezer. It wasn’t just a product innovation—it was a game-changer for how retailers and foodservice partners could deliver joy at scale. Today, our Thaw & Serve donuts remain a category leader, offering handmade charm and unmatched convenience—so our partners can deliver that fresh-from-the-bakery experience anytime, anywhere.
