What's In This?
LEXINGTON BAKES started with a curious question, “What’s in this?”
I fell in love with classic American treats when my family moved to the States from Greece. Some of my most cherished memories include making box mix brownies and take-and-bake cookie dough with my mom (along with classic Greek pastries).
As I grew up, my curiosity had me questioning, "What's in this?"
So I began baking from scratch, teaching myself how to bake by recreating my favorite treats. I soon realized dessert is better outside the box and my curiosity turned to the ingredients.
Learning about highly processed and artificial ingredients, toxic pesticides, exploitative and forced labor practices, and inhumane treatment of animals in the food world left me feeling bad about dessert.
I became determined to reclaim the joyful memories of my childhood.
In January 2022, I officially launched LEXINGTON BAKES to reimagine Nostalgic Treats. Better Than You Remember™ with a guiding principle of Radical Ingredient Transparency® so you never have to wonder, “What’s in this?”
It's time to feel good about dessert, again.

Real. Organic. Fair.
Our ingredient standards are simple.
Real. Organic. & Fair. So everyone feels good.
A good treat is more than just good taste; it’s about feeling good knowing it’s made with responsibly sourced good ingredients.
We take pride in sourcing real, organic, and fair trade ingredients with kindness and respect for people and planet, leaving you feeling good about indulging in your favorite treats.
Radical Transparency
We go above and beyond the standard industry ingredient list to provide unprecedented transparency and traceability by listing our specific ingredient brands and partners on our products.
So you never have to wonder, “What’s in this?”
Our treats leave you wondering about the extraordinary effort that went into bringing such globally celebrated ingredients together rather than worrying if naughty ingredients are lurking in your treats.
No Naughty Ingredients
We won’t all agree on what constitutes a naughty ingredient.
For us it means our treats are free from controversial ingredients, like artificial sweeteners, flavors, preservatives and dyes, sugar alcohols, soy, gums, corn syrups, bleached flour, hydrogenated oils, and more.
We respect that artificial sweeteners have a place in the food world and, for many, provide alternative access to consuming sweet treats. But as the safety of these ingredients is not definitively confirmed globally, we can’t, in good consciousness feel good about serving treats with mystery ingredients.
This is our promise.
No Naughty Ingredients.™
Responsible & Ethical fair trade
What makes our dessert extraordinary is that it leaves you with a sweet moment knowing everyone involved, from those harvesting to those celebrating, has been treated fairly, with kindness and respect.
We pledge to source fair-trade certified ingredients when sourcing any single ingredient that can be certified, including but not limited to cacao, sugar, vanilla, coconut, and coffee.
Better For You & Our Planet.
We are a proud member of 1% for the Planet.
We also partner with organizations and individuals committed to supporting food insecurity programs, fair trade practices, and equitable opportunities to explore culinary and baking arts.
We advocate for the responsible and ethical cultivation and harvest of ingredients from the planet and animals. In our commitment to sourcing fair trade ingredients, we prioritize sourcing from B-Corp Certified suppliers and those with strong sustainability programs.
