Where We Started
Banko Bake was created by Maggie Banko in 2020 as a fun side hobby during college (and the covid-19 lockdown). After graduating in 2021 with a degree in business, Maggie wanted to make the most of it. Banko Bake became official in the summer 2021 from Maggie's home kitchen in North Carolina. Throughout the past few years, Banko Bake has grown into more than could have been imagined. From delicious jumbo cookies all the way to recipes created by Maggie herself, Banko Bake has a little something for everyone. See below for more info on how Banko Bake came to be and where we are now!

Meet the Owner - Maggie Banko
Maggie - CEO & Baker
Hi there! I'm Maggie Banko; CEO, Baker, and the everything-in-between of Banko Bake. This small business was created through my genuine passion for baking and my determination to create a job that I can be proud of at the end of each day. Being able to provide something that can bring so much joy to so many people throughout the country is something that I never thought I would be able to say but I am so glad that I can. Whether you're following along on social media or ordering cookie boxes for your friends and family, I want to thank you so much for being the reason I get to live out my dream!

The Kitchen
Banko Bake started in Maggie's home kitchen in Raleigh, North Carolina. After two years, the dining room became a bit crowded so, Banko Bake moved into an attached kitchen space at Maggie's family home in early 2023. This kitchen space was designed and built by Maggie's amazing father and couldn't have been possible without the help of family, friends, and of course, you guys! This kitchen is 250 sqft. of pure baking heaven and is the perfect place to create new recipes and focus on bringing the best possible products to all of you each and every day.

The Cookies
Though Banko Bake started out by only making custom cakes and dessert tables for weddings & events, the business has grown into a cookie-focused world. All of the Banko Bake cookie recipes were created by Maggie and the delicious menu just keeps growing! With many cookie boxes being shipped all throughout the country each week, there is always something exciting happening in the kitchen.
