Macs & More Frequently Asked Questions
-
Just like a cake with buttercream frosting, a macaron is best enjoyed within the first few days of being made. Kept refrigerated in an airtight container, macarons will remain fresh for 7-10 days, or up to 2 months if frozen in the same manner.
Removing macarons from the fridge and leaving them at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving will give them the perfect opportunity to shine and be at their best.
-
Mostly, yes! Since they are made of almond flour, macarons are typically free of gluten-containing ingredients.
Some fillings may contain gluten, such as cake flavored macarons, so please ask before ordering!
Please note that my home bakery is NOT a gluten-free space. While we take the utmost care to prevent cross contamination, we cannot guarantee that the final product will not have come into contact with gluten at any time. If you have a sensitivity or allergy to gluten, please keep this in mind when and if ordering.

Due to the delicate nature of macarons, as well as the state laws surrounding cottage bakeries, mailing orders is not an option at this time.
All custom orders are picked up at my home bakery on your pickup day during an agreed upon time frame, and seasonal pre-orders will provide pickup information on your receipt email with a date and time for pickup.

You have always wanted to try your hand at macarons, but YouTube videos and Instagram reels just are not cutting it for you! Look no further than Ivy’s Macs & More.
The 90 minute private session costs $300 and accommodates you and up to 3 friends, resulting in 4 dozen macarons that are yours to enjoy at the end. Light refreshments will be served, and BYOB options can be discussed during the booking process.
This cost is per SESSION, not per PERSON. The class is taught at my home bakery, in a relaxed and easy going environment, where you can ask questions as we go and take as much time as you need. Classes will typically be offered during week day evenings, or brunch times on weekends.
