Guilt Cookies was started by two friends, Kirsty and Grace. They brand themselves as a Singapore based bake shop that is serious about making really good cookies. Each cookie by them has a unique twist are made with premium ingredients such as artisanal dark chocolate. And by unique twist, we mean little bits of goodness such as sea salt, hazelnut, honeycomb toffee, marshmallow and brownies, into their already decadent cookies. Customers are encouraged to take a guilt trip by purchasing their cookies! & their mantra is, there's nothing wrong with feeling a little Guilt.

On leaving their corporate lives behind

Expanding Your Business With Pickupp
"My co-founder, Grace and I, decided to leave our corporate lives behind to start something we could call our own. Baked goods/cookies is a pretty saturated and competitive market, but we’re working hard to distinguish ourselves from other businesses." They're aware of the challenge that lies ahead but are driven by passion and have formed strategic partnerships with companies such as Shop On Pickupp and even the gourmet sandwich shop, Park Bench Deli, to sell their cookies.

The Cookie that started the business - Walk Of Shame

Guilt Cookies - The Cookie That Started The Business
When asked about how they came up with their business and cookie names, Kirsty tells us that it started when they ate an entire plate of cookies. "We were sitting at our dining room table and eating an entire plate of the cookies that we had baked. We felt so shameful but we couldn't stop because it was so good… and I said something like it's like doing the walk of shame the next morning, and this inspired the rest of our branding and our other cookie names."
