a letter from our kitchen

brown gnome bakery was officially born in 2024, and its been an incredible ride ever since.

we are a married couple who have always had a passion for food: making it, eating it, the community that forms around it. we believe the best desserts are visually unforgettable, appetizingly nostalgic, and most importantly—that you can taste the love in every single bite.

Each of our items combine traditional southern baking and passed-down family recipes with the unique flavors of the PNW. we hope every bite tastes a little like home, wherever that may be.

with love,

Jasmine + Ryan
