Let me tell you a bit about myself. My name is "Macaron" or "Gerber," but between the two of us, I prefer to be called "Macaron." I am round and tempting to the eye. I am made primarily of almond flour, sugar, and egg whites, I have always had a very classic flavor, but recently, two renowned chefs have experimented with me by giving me countless colors and flavors beyond your wildest imagination.

I have become the most coveted cookie in France, I am a bit of a trendy item for people to serve, the favorite sweet of children, the ideal breakfast treat, of Parisian tea salons, the fashionable gift to give, and the ideal cookie for holidays such as Valentine’s Day
Despite my popularity in Europe and France in particular, I have not had much success yet in the United States. Although it is possible for you to find me here, more often than not it is at extremely expensive prices. Even when I am sold at reasonable prices, perhaps I am not as crunchy outside or as creamy inside as I should be, or perhaps I am too dry, or made with poor ingredients.
Presently, two distinguished pastry chefs are planning to make me in New York and the United States.
