How it started...
It all started with some leftover sweet potatoes - Hello and welcome! My name is Kay and I'm the baker behind Little Yams Bakery, a micro-bakery based in Brooklyn, NY. The idea of this micro-bakery stemmed from me experimenting with a variety of sweet potatoes in baking, which gradually transitioned to creating reduced sugar treats inspired by some of my favorite flavors from childhood and living in New York City. Most existing baked goods often contain too much added sugar that are not palatable to many. In contrast, I strive to curate a balanced sweetness in my treats that allow you to enjoy without taking in excess sugar. You will find my treats to be the perfect portion for one: not too large or heavy on your stomach.
I will feature new seasonal flavors to keep things fresh, fun, and a little unexpected. Many things inspired my selection of flavors, such as seasonal fruits and cultural heritage month events. Whether you’re craving something sweet but balanced, or looking for a thoughtful gift box, I pour care and creativity into every batch I bake. Thanks for supporting my little baking dream!
More baked goods are being tested in my home kitchen in New York. Follow on Instagram (@littleyamsbakery) for new announcements and stay tuned!
