This local bakery was founded in 2005 by the eponymous Jenny, who discovered her passion for baking when she began making butter cookies for her loved ones. After setting up her first shop in Stanley, her cookies became one of the hottest sweet treats in town, which can be recognised for their melt-in-your-mouth texure. In addition to her crowd-favourite butter cookies which come in various flavours, the bakery has also expanded and produced other sweet treats like almond flakes, cocoa crisps, and shortbread cookies.

Aside from their regular cookie selection, Baked Indulgence also offers seasonal flavours for customers to choose from, such as hojicha yuzu, genmaicha mochi, and lava custard mochi during Mid-Autumn Festival.
