do I have to order in advance?
It depends! We always have plenty of products in store daily for you to come and pick up without pre-ordering and most of the time we can accommodate larger same-day orders (eg 5+ boxes, or macaron towers), but we may require a few extra minutes to get your order ready.
Pre-orders for large orders or special events should be placed 1-4 weeks prior to pick up date, but you can always order farther in advance.
Custom Macaron cakes require 10 days advance ordering, but we always have a selection of in-stock cakes available: click here for our gluten free macaron cakes available for pick up this week.
During busy seasons (summer, Xmas, Easter, etc) we always recommend ordering large and custom orders 1-2 months in advance. to ensure we can fit in your custom order. All customizations (colour, design, etc) require a minimum of 3 weeks notice. To confirm your order we require payment.
If you have a last minute order give us a call and we’ll do our best to help you with your macaron emergency!
What are macarons made of?
The shells are almond meringues made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar and ground almond. The fillings are either ganache, buttercream, jam, or cream cheese.
Are macarons gluten FREE?
Macaron shells do not contain gluten and our signature macarons do not contain gluten. Seasonal flavours may contain gluten in an ingredient and we will label the flavour. We do not use wheat flour in our facility and we take care to label potential allergens. If you have any questions please feel free to call or email.
Do macarons contain dairy?
Mostly yes, but we do have dairy free options for macarons. Dairy free macarons are marked on their name tag. We occasionally have other option of dairy free pastries in the store such as meringues.
Do you have vegan macarons?
Macaron shells contain egg whites and therefore they are not vegan.
Do you deliver?
Oui! A local courier delivers our products in and around Calgary 7 days a week. Flat rate weekday delivery within Calgary is $12.50 + GST. Deliveries are next day only between 10am-8pm.

Deliveries can be ordered online HERE.
Do you ship macarons?
Unfortunately we do not ship macarons due to their delicate nature.
How long will macarons stay fresh for?
Macarons stay fresh 4 days when kept in the fridge in an airtight container. You can also freeze your macarons in an airtight container up to one month. When taking them outside of the freezer let them warm up to room temperature for about 15 minutes. Macarons are best enjoyed at room temperature.
Can I have a custom colour or flavour for my macarons?
We do custom colours for orders over 70 macarons (per colour, per flavour). If you wish to mix one of our signature flavours with one of our signature colours it is a minimum of 70 macarons. Please note that we normally require 2 weeks notice for customization. There is an added customization fee of $25 for all orders. More info HERE.
Can you match a particular colour for a macaron?
We do offer the option for custom colour as long as you are choosing from our macaron palette. We do like to say that they have to be baked so the colour can vary. We cannot guarantee 100% match. There is a minimum of 75 macarons per custom colour and we require 3 weeks+ notice. There is an added customization fee of $25 for all orders + cost of custom macaron (starting at $2.50/macaron).
How much are your macarons?
Macarons are $2.50 (+ GST) for singles, and $2.25 (no tax) when purchasing more than 6. We offer large order pricing starting at 400 macarons.
