Who We Are

We are an Austin-based husband and wife team (Soraiya and Azim Nagree) who love food just as much as we love our beautiful city. I left a very routine job as a chemical engineer for a bowling ball manufacturing company to undertake the rigorous Le Cordon Bleu training program.  I have loved being in the kitchen for as long as I can remember and am thrilled to be turning my passion into a reality. My supportive partner Azim is Luxe Sweets' most eager cheerleader and taste-tester.  Without him, I don't think I would have had the courage to follow my dream.  We truly hope you enjoy our sweets as much as we delight in creating them for you. 

Our Philosophy

It is a simple truth: food made from scratch, with care, and by hand just tastes better. The colors, the textures, the smells, and of course the flavors – nothing is better. We started Luxe Sweets because we wanted to create delicious treats which capture all the flavor and taste of home-made food. Every one of our delights has been made by us, by hand. They may not look all the same, but that's the part we like best. Because it means that every single product has been made for you by a person – not some machine.

Through many hours in the kitchen, many practice runs, lots of trial and error, and lots of hard work, we have perfected our recipes. But recipes are only as good as the ingredients that go into them. That's why we only use premium ingredients like Valrhona and Callebaut chocolate, pure vanilla extract (not some imitation!), and we refuse to add any artificial colors or flavors. The result? Treats which are simply irresistible.
