About Us

Nyx is owned and operated by me! - Shannon! 

I am a graduate of the Culinary Arts program at Schenectady County Community College.

 Over the past 15+ years I have gained extensive knowledge and experience working along side some of the best industry professionals in the Capital Region. 

In this, I have developed my own style of baking and pastry work which had culminated in the creation of Nyx; A Scratch Baking Co. 

An homage to the man that pushed me to do this and become the best baker I could be, Chris Schloss, former owner of Scratch Bakery Cafe located on Madison near Lark, Scratch was an essential part of my journey and represented as such.
Nyx- well she‘s the Goddess of Night.
I don’t think I need to explain further 🖤😘🖤

Nyx was, is and will always be a true scratch baking company.

Our history begins with Farmers and Makers Markets, direct sales and a spot at the Lark Street Mercantile (RIP)

Over the course of 2 years we sold enough product at prices averaging $3-4 each to open up the brick and mortar without any outside funding. 

And though the road has been rocky one thing I have learned is that scratch baking is a dying art and the way we do it is something special.

And for that reason it is time to explore how to reinvent the business model.
