Feel Good Luxury Treats
Three simple standards set LEXINGTON BAKES apart. Real. Organic. Fair.
LEXINGTON BAKES came to life through founder, Lex Evan's passion for baking with real, organic, fair trade ingredients that leave you feeling good about dessert.
Before starting his bakery, Lex held a 15-year career as a brand designer and strategist. But in his spare time he used the internet to teach himself how to make all his favorite treats from cookies, cakes, and pies to macarons, eclairs, and champagne caviar. As much as he loved learning about dessert, he loved sharing his creations with friends and family even more. Those moments of joy were as nourishing as the real, organic, and fair ingredients he used in his baking.
At the core of his brand is Radical Ingredient Transparency®. Lex prides himself in sourcing the most incredible ingredients and telling you all about the amazing people who make them the best. Unlike every other bakery or brand, LEXINGTON BAKES will always share every single brand they work with, so you never have to wonder, "What's in this?" or "Why is it the best?"
Three simple standards. REAL. ORGANIC. FAIR.
“Because good dessert is honest and leaves you with a sweet feeling of knowing everyone involved, from those harvesting to those celebrating, are treated fairly.”
– Lex Evan, founder, CEO & Chef of LEXINGTON BAKES.
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 real good ingredients.
Our treats are made with over 99% organic (the 1% is for baking powder, which cannot be organic) and over 40% fair trade ingredients.
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.
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.
Radical Ingredient 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.
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.
