Welcome to “Behind the Leaf”
What started as a simple desire to bake for family became Emerald Leaf Bakehouse. In this first Behind the Leaf post, we share the story behind our signature sweet rolls and the heart that shaped every bake.
Welcome to Behind the Leaf — a space where we share the stories, intentions, and quiet moments behind Emerald Leaf Bakehouse. This blog is our way of inviting you a little closer as we grow, bake, and continue to shape what Emerald Leaf is becoming.
In this first post, I want to share how Emerald Leaf Bakehouse began.
Emerald Leaf started with a simple intention: to share my love of baked goods with my family. I set out to create fresh, comforting bakes that both my son, a vegetarian, and my niece, who has a tree nut allergy, could enjoy — without sacrificing the richness and indulgence I love. That pursuit led to what would become our signature sweet rolls: soft, buttery, plant-based, and thoughtfully made. They became the foundation of Emerald Leaf Bakehouse.
With the support of my family, my home kitchen slowly transformed into a place of warmth and artistry — a space filled with early mornings, small batches, and recipes shaped by care and curiosity. What began as a personal goal has grown into something I am deeply grateful to share.
Thank you for being here and for supporting Emerald Leaf Bakehouse. I’m so excited to bring you along, behind the leaf.
