I’m Umaima and I’m the Founder of Kitty Cat Confectionery.

When I was a little girl, my Mother and I would spend hours in the kitchen, constantly baking up a storm. We’d scour over cookbooks, always on the lookout for new recipes to explore and share with our little world. It was our love language. Still is.

Flash forward to almost a decade later - I was in my third year of university when I decided that I was ready to go all in. Overwhelmed with deadlines and exams as I was forging a path for myself in the world, I found myself constantly turning back to the peace and solace that I’ve always found in baking. It was my safe place. Still is. It was then that I had decided to share this cherished space and passion that I had kept to myself, with all those around me.

I get a lot of questions about how I came up with the name, Kitty Cat Confectionery, and it all goes back to those days spent in the kitchen alongside my Mother. She always called me her Kitty Cat and I couldn’t help but keep that memory at the forefront of this creative endeavour. Several years and hundreds of wonderful customers later, my love for Kitty Cat Confectionery is as strong as ever and I couldn’t be more grateful to all of you for your unwavering love and support. I honestly couldn’t have done it without you.

Welcome to my sweet family. I’m so glad you’re here.
