2008 is turning out to be quite a year for Adelaide's Kytons Bakery! Not only is the successful Adelaide bakery celebrating its 70th Birthday this year, but Kytons has also just been awarded first prize at the National Baking Competition for its lamingtons.

Kytons have been loyal Pinnacle customers for 70 years and began trading in 1938, selling everything from bar cake, cream buns and the most popular of its lines, the lamington log – a madeira based lamington cake, topped with cream and cherries.

Overtime, the business took a turn in direction. Kytons had developed a "Lamington Kit" for schools and community groups. This consisted of sponge, coconut & chocolate dip ingredients, wires, bowls, knives, and measuring sticks. With the success of his local schools Lamington Drives, Kytons left its stall in the market for over 10 years, concentrating entirely on running fundraising Lamington Drives.

Today, lamingtons are still the product that Kytons is best known for in Adelaide. The business has also expanded into other fundraising drives – hot cross buns, winter pies and a festive Christmas drive.

Current owners, Darren and Sharon Sutton are also developing their lamington market beyond the school fundraising drive, now supplying 6-packs of the award winning lamingtons to independent supermarkets and gourmet stores, and also supplying the food services market. Back
