thank you, portland.
...it's been a wild ride.
To our beloved customers and community,
Thank you so much for your support and for being part of our journey!
It’s with bittersweet feelings that we share this news: after nearly 9 wonderful years, we are wrapping up our business here in Oregon. This week (4/7/25) marks our final days, and we’re deeply grateful for every order, kind word, and moment we’ve shared with our amazing customers like you.
As a result, we won’t be able to take on any new orders moving forward —
but we want to sincerely thank you for being part of our story.

What began as a fun baking project in the winter storm of 2016 quickly and unintentionally blossomed into a full-blown business. I went from bringing macarons to friends' parties to supplying them to stores all over town, the Portland Trail Blazers playoff games for court-side guests, etc., and even being featured on local news channels and in a Netflix series (!!!).
More importantly, while the workload was often insane and endless, I went from feeling stuck in dead-end jobs and dealing with the effects of depression to finding joy in life, while learning so much about myself and my city in the process.
​
I’m forever grateful for the countless weddings, birthdays, showers, corporate events, dozens of markets (shoutout to Emma with the Portland Night Market), and so much more that I’ve had the privilege of being part of. I’ll forever cherish the thousands of sweet interactions along the way.
​
Thank you for not only supporting my creativity but letting me express it with you.
​
After 9 years, this feels less like a goodbye and more like a gentle pause.
It’s the end of this chapter, but life has a funny way of surprising us.
