Golden Gate Confections is owned and operated by two sisters who spent much of their childhood baking numerous types of confectionery concoctions and dreaming of owning their own businesses. 

As adults, both sisters have worked in the baking industry and have explored various entrepreneurial opportunities. Both spent a great deal of time traveling internationally and tasting various local pastries.  In addition, they made numerous trips to Europe and to Ireland, in particular, where they learned about the various types of Celtic food fare.  They were especially interested in the breads, cookies and scones baked in Ireland. After years of experimenting with recipes, they have both joined forces and returned to a life long dream of working together!

Located in the beautiful San Francisco Bay area,
Golden Gate Confections will open your senses to a different type of shortbread -
the perfect shortbread. 

Golden Gate Confections uses the freshest ingredients as well as a *secret* recipe developed after years of baking different types of shortbread. In 2007, they introduced their 100% organic version of shortbread which has proved to be popular.

In a short period of time, the sister’s unique Irish Shortbread has made its way to local fairs, boutiques, corporate functions and most recently to New Leaf Community Market in Half Moon Bay, CA, as well as in all of Andronico's local Bay Area specialty markets.  


In addition, Golden Gate Confections strives to be environmentally friendly.  We donate a portion of our proceeds to fight Global Warming.

Adh mor!

(Gaelic for Cheers!)
