BEFORE THE GLOW-UP vs. AFTER THE GLOW-UP. 🍫🤎

Because apparently, chocolate croissant wasn’t chocolatey enough. We had to make it everybody’s problem. 😮‍💨

Meet our ALL CHOCOLATE BUN — chocolate croissant dough stuffed with a rich, fudgy brownie, finished with a silky milk chocolate coffee ganache.

Chocolate on chocolate on chocolate, with a little coffee to make things interesting. Because self-control was never part of the recipe. 🤎

Swipe to see the transformation. From oh, that looks good to I need that immediately.

Consider this your warning: this one is not for the casually curious. This is for the chocolate-obsessed, the dessert-for-breakfast people, and anyone who believes there is no such thing as too much chocolate.

Okay… you guys really showed up yesterday. 🥹

Every pastry, cookie, loaf, and questionable 4 a.m. baking decision found a home. 😂

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by, grabbed a box, brought a friend, came back for more, or simply told someone about The Guilty Cookie.

Seeing the booth empty at the end of the day is the kind of problem I’ll happily have. 😏

Seriously — thank you for keeping this little bakery dream very, very busy.

Same time next Saturday? 🤎

🎃 October’s menu is here and frankly… she’s doing too much.🍂

Buttery. A bit boozy. Creamy. Caramelized. Chocolatey. Slightly unhinged.

Basically everything we believe a fall pastry menu should be.

There are new cravings, old obsessions, a few over-the-top situations, and enough laminated dough to make your weekend plans irrelevant.

📑Save this post. Send it to your pastry enabler. Set an alarm.

We’ll see you Saturday. 🤎

Skip therapy? Absolutely not.
But therapy AND a croissant? Now we’re healing.
📍Thank you for all who stopped by at the market today. Your brain deserves butter.

🚨 WE HAVE A NEW PROBLEM. 🚨

Meet the Tiramisu Danish — our newest rising star and, frankly, she knows she’s hot.

Buttery, flaky Danish pastry + espresso + creamy mascarpone + tiramisu vibes. Basically, we took tiramisu and gave it a croissant-adjacent identity crisis.

And yes, these are random photos I’ve taken because I am, in fact, a baker—not a food photographer. But at least they’re real.
NO AI. Just pastry, crumbs, questionable lighting, and me taking pictures

So enjoy these beautifully chaotic, absolutely real photos of the pastry you’re about to become obsessed with.

TIRAMISU DANISH THIS WEEKEND AT THE MARKET. And we’re also rolling out some of our new fall flavor line up.. Chai cruffins? Pecan praline croissants? Pumpkin cinnamon sugar sourdough? We thought the same thing!

Come get acquainted before she inevitably starts acting like she’s too good for us.

Go ahead.
Be guilty. 🤎

Okayyyy, but can we just take a moment for these LAYERS?!l 👀

It’s been a hot minute since I posted, so naturally… I had to come back showing off a little.
Just me, holding an unbaked croissant like a proud mama because LOOK AT HER. 😍

Butter, dough, patience, and an unreasonable amount of caffeine. 😂

And THIS is what’s coming out of the oven… crispy, flaky, buttery perfection.

📆 Market this weekend. Come early. They won’t last.

🌧️ THE RAIN TRIED TO STOP US… BUT THE CROISSANTS SAID “ABSOLUTELY NOT.” 🥐😂

We got a late start this morning thanks to Mother Nature deciding to water the entire city 🌧️🙃

BUT WE’RE HERE! And the STUFFED CROISSANTS are ready to make your rainy Saturday considerably more delicious. 😍

Buttery. Flaky. Golden. STUFFED TO THE POINT OF QUESTIONABLE DECISION-MAKING. 😂

So if you’re out and about, come stop by the market and see us! We may have arrived fashionably late, but we brought the good stuff. 😉

Every baker has a kryptonite. Mine? Brownies.

For some reason, every time I make them, I feel like the process takes a small piece of my soul. 😂

The mixing.
The waiting.
The “Are they done or are they still basically lava?” panic. This!! - especially this!
The toothpick test that tells me absolutely nothing. And then staring at them like they personally betrayed me.

Meanwhile, everyone else is like, “OMG these brownies are AMAZING!” 😍

And I’m standing there thinking, Cool. Glad someone enjoyed the sacrifice. Because I will never get those 37 minutes of my life back. 😂

So yes… I can make croissants, sourdough, laminated pastries and all kinds of ridiculous things without blinking.

But brownies? Brownies are my final boss.

But apparently, I’m a glutton for punishment because these brownies are getting stuffed into my newest creation…

🍫🥐 CROWNIES 🥐🍫

A chocolate croissant filled with a piece of brownie AND coffee ganache.

Because apparently one form of chocolate wasn’t enough. 😈

So yes, I sacrificed a little more of my soul for you guys.

NEW PRODUCT DROPPING THIS SATURDAY AT THE MARKET! 🎉

Come get one before I decide brownies are no longer worth the emotional damage. 😂

No lie 😂
