If you’ve ever admired the colourful little cookies in our display case, you’re not alone. Macarons are one of those treats that instantly feel special. They’re bright, elegant, delicate, and just the right size when you want a little something sweet.
At Bake Sale, we offer 13 delicious macaron flavours every day, and our lineup grows during holidays with special seasonal favourites. Whether you’re stopping in for one macaron, picking up a gift box, or ordering a macaron tower for a celebration, there’s always a flavour for everyone.
What Is a Macaron?
A macaron is a delicate French sandwich cookie made with almond flour, egg whites, and sugar. It has a lightly crisp shell, a soft chewy centre, and a creamy filling inside.
People often ask whether macarons are crunchy or chewy, and the answer is both. A great macaron should have a delicate crispness when you first bite into it, followed by a soft, chewy texture and smooth filling.
What’s the Difference Between a Macaron and a Macaroon?
This is one of the most common questions people ask.
A macaron is a colourful French sandwich cookie made with almond flour and filled with buttercream, ganache, cream, or other fillings.
A macaroon is a coconut cookie.
They sound almost the same, but they are completely different desserts.
What Do Macarons Taste Like?
The flavour of a macaron comes almost entirely from the filling. The shell itself is made with almond flour and has very little flavour on its own.
That means each macaron tastes different depending on what it’s filled with. Some are rich and chocolatey, some are fruity and bright, and others are creamy, nutty, or buttery.

Are Macarons Gluten-Free?
Yes, our macarons are gluten-free.
Macaron shells are made with almond flour instead of wheat flour, which makes them a great option for many people with dietary restrictions. They’re also beautiful, colourful, and elegant, which makes them perfect for celebrations and gifting.
Why Are Macarons More Expensive Than Regular Cookies?
Macarons are one of the more delicate and technical pastries to make. They require premium ingredients like almond flour, careful mixing, precise baking, and each one is individually filled and finished by hand.
They may be small, but a lot of care goes into every macaron.
How Should You Store Macarons?
Macarons should be stored in the refrigerator.
For the best texture and flavour, take them out of the fridge about 30 minutes before you plan to enjoy them. This gives the filling time to soften and brings out the flavour.
If you are planning to eat them another day, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
Why Should Macarons Come to Room Temperature Before Eating?
Macarons taste best when they are not eaten straight from the fridge.
When they come to room temperature, the filling softens, the shell becomes more tender, and the flavour is more pronounced. It makes the whole bite creamier and more enjoyable.
Can Macarons Be Frozen?
Yes, macarons freeze well.
Place them in an airtight container and freeze them. When you’re ready to enjoy them, thaw them in the refrigerator and then bring them to room temperature before serving.
Can You Buy Macarons Individually?
Yes. You can buy macarons individually if you just want one as a little treat, or you can choose a box if you’re buying for a gift or to share.
Many customers stop by to pick up a dozen, especially when they’re heading to dinner, visiting friends, or need a simple hostess gift.
Do You Sell Macaron Gift Boxes?
Yes. You can buy our macarons individually, in a box of 6, or in a box of 12.
Our gift boxes make a beautiful present for birthdays, thank-you gifts, teacher gifts, hostess gifts, holidays, or just because. The bright colours make them feel instantly special.
Can You Mix and Match Flavours?
Yes. You can choose a mix of flavours, which is part of the fun. A box of assorted macarons lets everyone try something different.
They’re perfect for sharing because everyone usually has a favourite flavour.
Are Macarons Good for Weddings, Showers, and Parties?
