Amy’s Bread became 20 years old this past week! It warms my heart to celebrate this major milestone, which Baker, Entrpreneur and Author Amy Scherber and her team accomplished by following their passion, working incredibly hard, and making absolutely delicious breads, pastries, baked goods and sandwiches for New Yorkers and our visitors. The number of Amy’s warm baguettes that James and I have eaten straight out of her ovens in Chelsea Market could circle the earth at least twice.
Every year, my birthday cake comes from Amy’s Bread – the perfect yellow cake with pink frosting. I love it even more for breakfast the day after my birthday when the cake is still moist, and the frosting gets just a little crunchy. Amy’s cherry and oat scones, Parisian breakfast, vegetarian white bean sandwich, grilled cheddar biscuit, chocolate twists and sticky buns are all divine.
Congratulations to Amy’s Bread! May we enjoy many more years of your delicious and beautiful creations!
