"Beyond the product itself, I believe a significant part of our success is the personal connection. I cherish the opportunity to build relationships at the farmer's market, enjoy watching the kids grow, and treasure the stories that have intertwined with my macarons"

Ready to craft a stunning blue ombre macaron tower, love? 🌊💙

It all begins with the right tools - like these 21-inch piping bags fitted with a trusty 803 tip, perfect for creating about 150 shells of mac perfection.

For those just starting their macaron journey, an 18-inch bag might be your sweet spot for easier handling and precision.

Remember, it's all about finding the flow that feels right in YOUR HANDS! 👐💫

The real secret? Practice, practice, practice. No amount of tutorials beats hands-on experience in your own kitchen, boo. So just START! 🏠👩‍🍳

Need a little guidance? Drop your questions below- I’m all about helping you make those macaron dreams a reality! 💌👇

Imagine kicking off your Monday with a cascade of macaron hues, because that's how we roll here, boo! 🌈

Mornings in our kitchen are a vibrant splash of joy, prepping for a week where every color is a flavor.

Wanna start your week on a sweet note too? Stick with us! I got you!

As if I couldn't love what I do even more 🥰💐

Some market days, especially the ones before a holiday, can get a bit crazy. Making sure all the pickup orders are set, samples are ready to go, and I can easily feel like I'm being pulled in every direction both physically and mentally.

And then, something like so innocent and sweet like this will happen, where all that stress melts away.

No lie....i LOVE being called Ms. Mel the Cookie Lady 😂...i mean if that's not a reputation to be proud of, i don't know what is 🤗

If this box of macs doesn't bring a smile to your face after receiving it on your doorstep, I don't know what will 🌈

These next two weeks are nonstop at the kitchen, but despite the stress that comes with this season, I remind myself that every box will bring a smile to at least one person's face....or at least we hope so 🤞🏽

Whatever may be bringing you stress this holiday season... whether it's getting all the gifts for your kids, trying to budget it all, or simply figuring out the holiday schedule, I hope you can pause for a moment and know that you're doing enough.

Your efforts will bring a smile to your kids face, everything will workout, and it will be an amazing holiday!

My daughter Jaime sent me some of your macarons - and what an amazing treat! I have had them from other bakeries, but I have never been impressed. Your macarons are unforgettable! The delicate flavors are a thing of unique beauty. I saved six of them to share over tea with a dear English friend - and she too had never tasted macarons quite like these! I will be ordering more soon!!! Congrats and thank you!!

When you ask for a sign, and it comes in the form of handmade cards😭😭😭

This month was crazy with Mother's Day and the stress distributing all the shipping and delivery orders definitely took priority over my birthday

I felt detached from a usual celebration and just wasn't in the mood

But, of course that changes when I personally deliver to one of my regulars at the farmers market and her two toddlers give me these handmade cards

"Happy Birthday Miss Mel".... I was about to cry right there on their porch but I figured that'd be unprofessional...lol

It's been rough these past two months, but this little reminder keeps me focused on my purpose.

How did you guys celebrate Mother's Day this past weekend?

Instead of macarons, someone ordered an ube cake for their mom to be delivered on Sunday.

Not a bad idea, right?

Whatever you decided to do for her, I hope it came from the heart.

That's really what they want. Whether it's macarons, some decadent desserts, flowers, or a letter in the mail.... the recognition of their hard work is sometimes the most powerful gesture a mother can receive.

Mamas, let us know below how your family made you feel special 👇👇👇

Some of our Mother's Day highlights.

Last week was overwhelming but to serve you and celebrate your moms, especially those celebrating their first Mother's Day, is so heartwarming.

No one was really able to have that traditional day of brunching and hugs and photos taken close to one other, but hopefully you were still able to experience the love that's so sacred around motherhood.

To all the moms, no one can deny how you shape our world through your love and dedication to your children.

You redefine what a hero is everyday.

Thank you!

Who needs a rainbow 🌈 right now?

I sure do!👋

I can't believe Mother's Day is this weekend! Crazy, right?

Everyday I go from a cycle of acceptance to worry to hope that things will get better.... and it just repeats.

But you know who was my rainbow today? It was my local customers I got to see through contactless delivery.

Surprising your kids at your front door is just as fun as being shouted at the farmers market as "Cookie Lady".

Pivoting my business has been stressful these last few weeks, but these little blips of connection are what reminds me of my purpose.

So thank you...

How we've been able to celebrate our healthcare heroes, because of YOU and your generosity!

I received a donation for our mission in celebrating our healthcare workers and the gift message stated

"You've redefined what a hero looks like to my children. Thank you. "

All the feels, right? 😢

Got me thinking, what has changed in me for the better since this all started? 🤔

I'd say it's trying to be of service in any capacity for people outside my family.

What about you? What's changed? Let me know below👇👇👇

You know what I love about contactless delivery

The joy on your kid's face after you surprise them with that gift box of macarons

Let's be real, it's a struggle to stay positive everyday 24/7 during quarantine.

I'm an extrovert and yes boo, I'm in pain.

We've ordered everything online and getting packages filled with necessities are our norm, but what about receiving something a little more special

Might as well have some joy delivered straight to your door to help ease some of that discomfort.

Can I share a secret with you?

I am OBSESSED with all the notes attached to our macs during this lockdown.

We've delivered so many gift boxes to hospital employees, teachers, and grocery store workers this week.

Really these are probably the folks we took for granted and now we're in complete awe of them.

There were also boxes sent to those who had to postpone their celebrations.

Couples canceled their weddings, milestone birthdays remained inside, & first time mothers were unable to share their newborn with their families.

Even though this is a very stressful time, you are still choosing to give gratitude and remind others of your love and support.

Doing what I do, I feel blessed to be able to witness that everyday as reminders of just how strong our community actually is.

Comment below if you agree!

Last week's donations were gifted to the amazing cardiology staff of Kaiser Baldwin Park by one single family!

Talk about generous.

There's so much we can stress about these days, but giving back and saying thank you to our healthcare workers is such a simple yet powerful way to shift our focus.

and be a part of this movement of generosity towards our frontline workers.

Because everyday is an opportunity to celebrate the people you love, especially now.

This rosette matcha cake was delivered to a family celebrating their 20 year old daughter's birthday.

Yes, it was just them, no party, but they still wanted to do something special.

Since this all started, though frustrating most days, I can still have gratitude that I'm safe, my family is healthy, and we're doing ok.

And yes, for me, that's something to celebrate daily!

How are you celebrating the people you love? Let me know below! 👇👇👇

Wanna know how to get 25%OFF the online store?

Let's start focusing on what we do have control over these days, like the simple act of saying thank you! 😊

Calling all emotional eaters... wait isn't that all of us right now? 👋

It's rare I keep a stock of macs at home, but let's be real, that wasn't gonna happen this week.

The emotions came and so did my cravings.

It's a scary time and that's ok, boo.

Indulge in your comfort.

Whether it's sweets, a book, netflix, or your girls. Remember that joy can still exist even in shaky times.
