ELLE KORNKVEN-PERNA
Founder, CEO
and Head Baker
Elle has always had a deep love for animals—especially dogs—and believes they deserve the same thoughtful care we give the rest of our family. What began with a commitment to feeding her own pets wholesome, quality food soon blended with her love of baking and eye for simple, beautiful design. That passion became Gizmo’s Pet Pastries: handcrafted treats made to delight pets and give their people peace of mind.
