Episode 1: La Petite Delicat Bakery!
From Indonesia to Lexington, Sylviana Herrin’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. We enjoyed chatting with Sylviana, the creative force behind the beloved bakery, La Petite Delicat, and hearing how she swapped her corporate shoes for a baker’s apron. Hear how a serendipitous encounter with macarons in Egypt led her to transform her newfound baking passion into a thriving local enterprise. Sylviana shares the ups and downs of her entrepreneurial path, from selling on Etsy to opening her own bakery, embracing each challenge along the way with determination.
Sylviana’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance as she navigated the transition from online orders to establishing a brick-and-mortar in Lexington. Her journey didn’t stop with macarons; it expanded into a delightful storefront at 722 National Avenue in the heart of the Warehouse Block. With help from her dedicated team, she offers an array of pastries, including the ever-popular croissants, which most consider the “Best in Lex." It's a very sweet episode!
