A family business.
A taste for the exceptional.

Nearly fifty years of relationships.
A legacy carried forward.

Bill Mayer built Ingenuities over nearly fifty years, working directly with the customers who came to know him and the business.

Karen Lehrer worked alongside Bill for thirty years, handling customer orders and welcoming new customers. Her husband, Marc, picked up baked goods from the bakeries and delivered them to stores.

Today, Karen and Marc Lehrer carry Ingenuities forward—continuing a business whose history they have long been part of.

A taste for quality.

We work with small bakeries to bring food retailers a distinctive collection of gourmet baked goods and treats. Quality matters in the products we select and the collection we share with our customers in New York and Connecticut.

Our collection spans breakfast favorites, cakes and loaves, cookies, pastries, bars, and confections. Browse the catalog to explore individual products, available varieties, and packaging.
