Guilty Good Pastries
Sweet & Savory Treats Based on Asian American Food Memories
Guilty Good Pastries was founded by Elizabeth Kim, a former teacher of eleven
years, who is now pursuing her childhood dream of opening a bakery that
represents her Korean-American heritage.
When thinking of how she wanted to
define what she was bringing to the table, two words kept coming to
mind – comfort and nostalgia.
The flavors are cross-cultural with a mix of classic
American and Asian flavors based on Elizabeth’s food memories from childhood.
Through Guilty Good Pastries, Elizabeth hopes to bridge the separation between
“American” bakeries and “Asian” bakeries–a place where second generation
Americans of immigrant parents will feel represented but also where adventurous
eaters from all backgrounds can explore new flavor profiles.
Try one of her
signature bars/buns/pies, and you’ll see–it’s a kind of good that’s “guilty good”!
