It's all about the bake
Yellow Bowl Bakery
Yellow Bowl is a registered home bakery in Mount Vernon, New York. Scones, gluten free brownies, everything focaccia, and so much more, baked to order and picked up on Sunday mornings.
The baker
Laura deBuys
Yellow Bowl started with one battered yellow mixing bowl and a habit of baking for everyone Laura knew. Friends started asking for standing orders. Then their neighbours did. Then the cafe down the road.
It is still one baker, one kitchen, one bowl. Every scone, brownie, and slab of focaccia goes out under Laura's name, which is exactly why the counts stay small.

Why Yellow Bowl
It's All About The Bake
Baked for taste
Appearance is important too, but flavor and feel are my guides
Sourced for flavor
Belgian chocolate, organic ginger, farm fresh fruit and eggs - always looking for the tastiest ingredients
Baked to order
What you want when you want it. Baking to order eliminates waste and ensures the quality and attention you deserve in every bite.
Made for your moment
We want to complete your Sunday morning or your birthday celebration with just the right bake. That means accommodating any dietary restrictions as well. YBB is not a nut-free or gluten-free kitchen, but we can accommodate most needs. (In which case, it's all about the bake AND the science.)
This week
Straight from the Oven
Orders close Thursday. (Friday for my CSA friends - you know who you are.) Counts are limited, so early is better.
Signature
Everything Focaccia
A slow, cold fermented dough, dimpled by hand, drenched in olive oil and finished with a proper everything seasoning. Crisp bottom, open crumb, salty top. It is the thing people come back for.

Seasonal
What the month is good at
Rhubarb in spring, peaches through the summer, apples and warm spice when it turns. Seasonal bakes run only while the fruit is worth baking with, then they disappear until next year.

It's all about the bake
No shortcuts, no filler, no giant batches
Good baking is unglamorous. It is weighing things properly, keeping the butter cold, and refusing to send out anything you would not put in front of your own family. That is the entire philosophy.
Kind words
From the Sunday line
The lemon ginger scone ruined every other scone for me. I plan my Sundays around it.
We put the focaccia on the counter and it sells out before noon, every single week.
Ordered two dozen brownies for a school event. Gluten free, and nobody could tell.
