About My Mission
How it all started
On my 40th birthday, I went to Paris. There, I fell in love with macarons. I tried to make these ridiculously tricky cookies on and off for 5+ years, without a whole lot of success. Then one fateful day a family member forwarded me a recipe she saw on Facebook of all places...and it worked!!! I have been hooked ever since. I started sharing pictures of my macaron projects on social media, and friends and family started wanting to place orders. At around the same time, I had been thinking of finding a way to do a "give back." In a nutshell, this is how Macarons on a Mission came to be!
On my birthday in July of 2019, I decided to buy this website (with birthday money from my dear Mom and Dad), and here we are. So far my macaron sales have gone towards a variety of charities that support children with special medical and developmental needs. This is borne out of a desire to give back to the many organizations that have helped my own daughter through the years, as well as paying it forward to even more organizations with similar missions.
This is a passion project for me. It makes me happy to bake the cookies and cakes, it makes my customers happy, and it makes the donation recipients happy. Win-Win-WIN. Thanks for stopping by!
