Was suggested Cake Coquette for a friend's baby shower. Gabby was easy to work with and I sent her the size of the party and some inspiration. My friend loves the Hobbit and the baby shower also had bunny theme and Gabby knocked it out of the park. Everyone including the soon to be parents were so impressed with the cake's look. And it tasted great, we ordered the Lemon cake with lemon curd. Such a cute bunny hobbit house! read more

Needed a last minute custom cake for our "What will baby bee" bee themed gender reveal and Gabrielle delivered! Showed her a pinterest photo and was shocked how she absolutely nailed it. Everyone raved how cute it was! Dinged 1/2 star for pricing as it was $250 for a 9" cake. Pretty hefty compared to others but I went for it because it was my fault thinking ordering 2 weeks ahead of time was sufficient enough. For the amount of attention to detail, I can understand why though. Dinged another 1/2 star only because I prefer the softer, lighter cakes, but hers was more dense. Got the chocolate with mocha fudge that had the perfect amount of sweetness. Easy to order, quick to reply, received on time. What more can you ask for, thank you! read more

Gabby did a wonderful job making cake for our wedding. When we first met up, we were able to try small samples of cake, which all were pretty tasty but we ended up going with a vanilla cake with cream cheese filling and strawberry and passionfruit flavour. She was super fun to talk to and was able to easily make a sketch to turn our vague cake ideas into something tangible. She was also able to add a dozen vegan cupcakes for our vegan guests. Everything turned out amazing! My only regret is that I wasn't really able to have some of the cake on my wedding day. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to eating the cake saved for our 1st anniversary! If you're looking for a baker for your wedding in the Bay Area, look no further. read more

We are so sad to write this review because we really like Gabby when we first visited her for a cake tasting. However, I am so disappointed with the lack of communication on details and her own decision making approach for our once in a lifetime wedding cake. Two stars because Gabby is sweet and the cake flavors were delicious, and she offered a partial refund. We took away three stars because she made her own "judgement call" on how our cake should look like without asking us any questions or communicating any details to us. I could not give Cake Coquette five stars after I almost DIED when I saw our wedding cake for the first time at our traditional Military and Fairytale wedding. I am all about details. Details are especially important to a bride who is extremely meticulous and CLEAR with her expectations. My close friends immediately knew how I would feel after they saw the styrofoam cake topper and told me to look away - yes, they knew how upset I'd be because there was barely any work done to the cake topper that was supposed to be custom made. The styrofoam castle that WE purchased and provided to Gabby was difficult to look at on our wedding because it was worse than looking at a castle cake topper for a fairytale princess birthday party for a one year old -- this was our first and only WEDDING! I could've decorated it better; in hindsight, I wish the company we order the cake topper from shipped the castle topper to us directly so we could've decorated it and then provided it to Gabby because she obviously thought leaving it styrofoam for a black tie wedding was fine. We had no idea our cake would have a styrofoam castle on top that wouldn't be decorated - why was this NEVER communicated to us until AFTER our black tie wedding? We emailed Gabby the day after our wedding asking why a picture was never sent or even a single description via email of what our cake would look like (whatever happened to communication?!). Why was the castle topper NOT decorated and left as STYROFOAM? Yes, can you believe it?! A STYROFOAM (literally) castle on top of an elegant wedding cake at a Black Tie wedding with military officers and the most important people in our lives gathered together?????? Ugh, we were so upset! Gabby's response was: "...we did make a judgment call on the walls of the castle based on budget, as they would have had to be completely recovered in a fondant redesign of the topper in order to change the texture, a several hour process in itself. We did use a shiny white dust on the walls, which had the same look as the styrofoam itself." "Judgement call" on OUR wedding cake?! We will pay you ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to have made our castle cake topper look ANYTHING OTHER THAN STYROFOAM. This castle cake topper "budget" and details were never discussed with us. We only discussed the cake layers and delicious flavors. My heart breaks that we put so much effort in researching a castle cake, purchasing a $70 castle plan white styrofoam castle topper, purchasing a $300 gold cake stand, and putting time into meeting with Gabby for a cake that looked like it had a styrofoam cake topper straight from the craft store. We asked why didn't she send a picture before our wedding, and her response was: "As a general policy, we never send pictures out before delivery of a cake." I was livid. I stepped away from writing any reviews from my wedding day for five years - just to let that emotional side of me to pass by. I am still really upset after five years with this experience. We paid so much for a wedding cake that we wouldn't ever have approved of if we knew that the cake topper would look like styrofoam. Our photographer got some good shots of us and the cake from far, far, far away so the styrofoam did not show up in the pictures. Unfortunately, our castle cake topper was "good from far, far from good." Five stars for the taste (delicious) and five stars for being a sweet person when we met you, but the lack of communication for details is what makes me give the fair rating of two stars overall. We really wish Gabby had gone through the details with us before moving forward with any detail that was made for our wedding cake. read more

Gabby is an incredible artist and her team was great to work with. We had our wedding in May 2019 (so a review was long overdue!!) but just wanted to make a quick post because memories of the cake is still something I fawn over. Everything about the process was so smooth. We had a neat tasting and design session and the final product turned out exactly as we hoped it would. (Gorgeous and delicious!!! Vanillla with salted caramel and toffee) Delivery of the cake was excellent also. They got to the venue and set up before I even arrived! And it held up the whole time (8 or 9 hours?) looking pristine. Great experience and so happy to have worked with them for such a special occasion! read more

Though it was a tough decision in the first place deciding which vendor to use for our wedding cake, what we really liked about Gabby was 1) the flavors, and 2) her creativity: with some sample photos & a description that we came with, she sketched her version of what she would make live while we waited. The pricing was reasonable, and she was fast with responses to the few questions we posed in the intervening months between contract & wedding day... And then when she delivered the cake on our wedding day, it was absolutely perfect! We were impressed, many of our guests commented on it as well, and it tasted exactly as we wanted. Our only regret was that somehow in the chaos of the evening, it didn't get communicated to the caterer that we wanted to keep some to take home, as our only taste of it that night was during the cake cutting ceremony. I guess we'll have to engage her again for an anniversary cake! read more

This is a long overdue review. Gabby made a wedding cake for us last year in Thanksgiving weekend. There was a mix-up and the cake arrived late. I was on pins and needles waiting for the cake. All my anxiety dissappated when it arrived and it was exactly what I wanted. The cake was beautiful---so elegant decorated with fresh flowers. We chose the red velvet cake. It was moist, flavorful, and sooo delicious. Everyone commented on how the cake was so moist and tasty, without being overly sweet. This year, Gabby gifted us a small red velvet cake in November because of our cake arriving late last year. That was really sweet and I appreciated her thoughtfulness. The cake was just as moist and flavorful as the wedding cake last year. We enjoyed it so much that our family decided that Gabby's red velvet cake will be an annual tradition. Thanks so much, Gabby! read more

I was a little early booking my wedding cake (11 months) but Gabby and her team were so accommodating. I met with her in person once to go over my ideas for our cake and to do the cake tasting. I changed my mind a lot in terms of the design and felt bad but Gabby and her team were nothing short of friendly and helpful. They really do want you to have the cake of your dreams! I couldn't have imagined it turning out any better. We picked the hazelnut chocolate cake with rum and then the classic vanilla with amaretto soaked cake. Since we had children at our reception we asked for the top tier to be no alcohol and to have funfetti cake. My only regret is not being able to have each of the flavors at our wedding (we were so busy!). The bites that we did have of the classic white were moist, flavorful, and effing delicious! I can't wait for our anniversary when we return to SF; we will have to order our cake again! read more

I threw a 50th birthday bash for my wife at a venue in SF that has art deco vibes. My wife's Chinese zodiac sign is the tiger, so there was a tiger theme element to the party. I reached out to Gabby at Cake Coquette, and ordered a 3 tier cake. I informed Gabby about the tiger theme and she asked me about the venue. Within a few days she sent me a sketch of a cake that incorporated both the tiger theme and the art deco vibes of the venue. The end result was a beautiful and delicious red velvet cake! The cake was absolutely stunning and perfectly complimented the party themes. Beyond all expectations. My wife loved the cake and we received compliments on the cake all night. The compliments continued the following evening when we had some family over to finish the leftover red velvet cake. It was so good. Cake Coquette is now my go to cake bakery in SF.

So glad I chose Gabby to create a cake for my baby shower! I sent her an email with a example of what I wanted for the nautical theme and she said she would modify the design to fit within my budget. I was expecting something way less elaborate than the photo I sent her but it turned out to be exactly how I had wanted it! Not only was it beautiful, it was moist and the vanilla with raspberry and strawberry filling was well-balanced, fresh, and not too sweet. My guests raved about it and kept asking where the cake was from and did not hesitate to take all of the leftovers home with them! Majority of the time bakeries put so much time and effort on the outside of the cake, the inside and the taste gets compromised, but not with my cake! She offers delivery service for a fee but I opted to pick the cake up myself at no charge and she was communicative and made it a breeze. Will definitely order my next cake from her!

I reached out to Gabby (2.5 weeks before my mother-in-law's birthday celebration) to order a cake. Gabby was super accommodating and answered all of my questions. I chose a citrus buttermilk cake with citrus cream filling and lemon curd. I told her that my mother-in-law loves jade and pearl jewelry along with what type of flowers she likes. Gabby was able to incorporate the pale mint green theme/jade along with adding my mother-in-law's favorite flowers into the cake design. She created this most beautiful mint green/jade marbling in the fondant and added specks of edible gold flakes. She even delivered the cake to the restaurant before the scheduled dinner and had them refrigerate it until the party began. My mother-in-law absolutely loved how beautiful her cake was and loved how it taste! I can't thank Gabby enough for such a beautiful cake! read more

With formal training from the CCA (California Culinary Academy) she set off for a stint at the W Hotel Seattle and then to Los Angeles to work for the well known Cake Divas. In Los Angeles the orders where often extreme, challenging but always fun. Making cakes for celebrities and movie sets prepares you for anything so Gabrielle can grant any request.

I only tried it because I could neither spell nor pronounce it, but my goodness was I glad I did. It was literally heaven in my mouth. Since then, I have nary turned down Kouign-Amman when I see it on a menu. But never has any tasted quite as good as the one in Sedona... Today came close when I stopped at Arsicault Bakery. The line was a little intimidating but once in line it moves quickly. 15 minutes. I love Kouign-amann for what it is and isn't. It has simple Ingredients. A classic pastry from Brittany, France, it only contains yeast dough, butter, and sugar. Bakers fold sugar and butter into the dough in layers. As it bakes, the sugar melts to create a crispy, caramelized crust on the outside and soft, buttery layers on the inside--with no fruit fillings, so the one I tried in Sedona did a modern twist on it that strayed from its traditional counterpart, which I just happened to absolutely love. The Arsicault version has an impeccably crispy, caramelized crust and buttery layers inside that are so spongy and soft. It was rounded perfection. Given that it's been 6 years since I was Layla's Bakery in Sedona I cannot with certainty say which was better: Sedona wins for modifying the traditional with added apple compote (kudos to them for that tweak), but Arsicault wins for how close it is to what the traditional kouign-amann should be. The crisp, caramelized outer layers contrast with the satisfyingly soft center. Perfection. They say Arsicault has the best croissants in San Francisco. I haven't tried many others here, but I believe from what I've had of this so far that statement is likely accurate. I am too full at present to eat the almond croissant, but will tonight to make my decision on how it fares compared to the best almond croissant I've had thus far--in Santa Barbara at Goat Tree Cafe.

The Pistachio croissant...Pretty special, I never had it with a cream filling. The little flat bread with eggplant and pomegranates and harissa drizzle...super!. Tahini chocolate.....the list goes on...The olive bread. So if you are going to make it to any part of the northern CA area, specially San Francisco (Yes, there are great bakeries around here), I would put this on the top of the list, as the preparation is all from scratch, and the unique flavors and approach to some well known treats is something one must enjoy. Oh, and on top of that, I ordered a plain espresso, and the barista managed to do it justice. So dont be on the fence on the coffee making and quality. The location is on the steeper roads that I have no idea how people deal with living here. Good job, as once you stop in the middle of the climb, you will likely spin some tire to get traction, and that is on a dry day! The bakery is among a residential area.

I hadn't had a traditional one yet this year, so that was a plus for me. Normally I'm not crazy about the nut moon cakes, but this one was terrific! It was the best moon cake I've had in a while - regular lotus seed with yolk and nuts. The lady at the bakery reminded me of an "auntie" and she was super friendly! Even though today was moon cake, I took a chance and asked if she had any wife cake (Low Po Behng). Unfortunately she didn't, but we had a nice little conversation in Cantonese and it brought me back to childhood and Chinatown in L.A. back in the day. Some people might not like that it's closed (I think that's when she runs out or isn't baking that day) but that's just how it goes. It's nothing personal if someone drives a long way and it's closed. It sounds like sometimes the lines can be long (There was no line for us today - score!) but it's everyone's choice if they're willing to wait or not. It's a little place and you order through the door. To me, that just adds to the quirky adventure of it all. Next time I hope she has Low Po Behng!

If you have a chance to meet "auntie", consider yourself special. Enjoyed our time with a little chit chat - since we were fortunate that it wasn't busy yet. I know some may be upset that it wasn't opened when they showed up - but that's kind of what makes it special - when you do get there in the right day and time.

Pineapple Bun with Butter: Really thick, satisfying layer of buttery cookie on top and they toast the bread to order so you get some of that contrast against the slab of cold butter.

TLDR; it's still quite good, but I don't know if I agree with the consensus that it's better than SF's other options, especially given it's a decent bit more pricey for a smaller product. Given how out of the way the store is, I don't know it's say it's a must try, but still a very good version of this sweet treat.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Cake Coquette. I sent a clear reference photo of the star-shaped cake my daughter wanted, and we specifically discussed the decorative edible gems. She confirmed that she could use edible gems that would look like real jewelry. Despite that conversation, she apparently made no effort to obtain them. Instead, the cake was covered with large, dull, unattractive pieces that looked like stones picked up from the ground and stuck onto the cake. They looked nothing like sparkling gems. The cake was completely different from the elegant and delicate design we had agreed upon. The decoration was extremely crude and showed a complete lack of refinement, attention to detail, and professional skill. When I arrived and questioned why she had not used the edible gems we had discussed, she offered to start calling around to see where she could find them. By then, I had already driven from Oakland to San Francisco, the cake was completed, and I was on my way to my daughter's birthday. That offer was obviously far too late. Edible gems made specifically for cakes were readily available to order online, and obtaining them should have been handled before the cake was made--not when the customer arrived for pickup. The pickup location was also extremely difficult to find and appeared to operate from an industrial warehouse rather than a clearly marked bakery. The entire experience felt careless and unprofessional. A custom birthday cake requires trust. If a bakery accepts a specific design and confirms that it can provide an important decorative element, it has a responsibility to prepare properly and deliver what was agreed upon. If that is not possible, the customer must be told in advance. Her lack of preparation, responsibility, and attention to detail caused enormous stress and disappointment and negatively affected my daughter's birthday celebration. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Cake Coquette for detailed custom cakes. read more

i cannot say enough good things about Gabby. She made an anniversary cake for my husband's and my 50th wedding anniversary. At first Gabby said that the smallest three-tiered cake she made was for 130 people which was way more than we needed. But when Gabby found out it was for our 50th anniversary and that this cake would be our first "professional" wedding cake, she said she could make a three-tiered cake for 30 people, which was just perfect. I really wanted a three-tiered cake because we were married while in college and didn't have much money. We were married at my husband's parents' home and his mother made my wedding dress and the cake. The cake was good, but it was only two-tiered and did not have flower decorations. I explained to Gabby that I wanted a cake with yellow roses and purple violets because both of those flowers are associated with a 50th anniversary. She make the cake exactly as i wanted it. It was more than I could have expected! It was gorgeous, complete with gold piping and a gold 50 on the top. But, it doesn't stop there, The cake was absolutely delicious. The bottom layer was devil food chocolate with chocolate fudge filling. The second tier was butter milk vanilla with carmel and toffee bits filling. The top tier was red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. Many guests said that it was the best cake that they had ever tasted. THANK YOU, GABBY! read more

Cake Coquette did my wedding cake and I can't tell you how many of my guests have contacted me afterwards to ask me where I got it. Cake coquette is amazingly flexible and accommodating--my now husband and I couldn't decide on a flavor so we did a different flavor/filling combo for each layer. One was almond cake/mascarpone cheese with fresh strawberries and it was phenomenal!! The cake is incredibly moist, the butter cream is not too sweet, and the white chocolate fondant-like wrap was amazing. I was so bummed after the wedding because I didn't have time to taste the cake, but the next morning my in-laws brought over the leftover. You would have thought I had won the lottery as ecstatic as I was. I was so pleased with how it turned out. Cake coquette will not disappoint you if you go w/ for your event. We went w/ a simple branching flower design on the outside. I will honestly say that the cake decorating is okay, but didn't blow my mind. So if you're more into an elaborate design and don't care about taste then Cake Coquette isn't your place. They are very reasonably priced too compared to other cakemakers I looked at. read more

Cake Coquette has truly outdone themselves with the creation of our one-of-a-kind, gravity-defying wedding cake! From the very beginning, they were an incredible partner in the process, inviting us to their studio for a tasting session that was both delightful and delicious. The array of flavors was impressive, and the brainstorming session for design ideas was both fun and inspiring. Gabi, the mastermind behind Cake Coquette, is a first-class artist whose passion and creativity are evident in every cake she designs. The attention to detail and the sheer artistry of our wedding cake left our guests in awe. It was not just a dessert, it was a centerpiece that added an extra layer of magic to our special day. For anyone looking for a cake that is as unique and special as their event, look no further than Cake Coquette. Make sure to check out their Instagram to have your mind blown by the stunning creations. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome and are so grateful to have had Cake Coquette be a part of our wedding celebration. Thank you for making our day even sweeter! read more

6 stars please!!! Cake Coquette created a fabulous and yummy cake for our wedding last year, inspired by modern & whimsical elements. Not only did the cake look good, but it also tasted good. We chose two flavors, a traditional white cake with fresh strawberries and then her signature red velvet because hubby and I just LOVE us some red velvet! We did have a hard time choosing flavors, since so many of the ones we tried at our tasting were really good and different from what we were used to. Then again we only ever eat cake from Costco, hahaha, so that's not a good comparison. We loved our cake so much we will be going back to Cake Coquette for an anniversary cake and maybe this time around we will choose one of the flavors we didn't get to select for our wedding cake...yum! read more

Jasmine asked not just about our preferences but about who were as as people and as a couple. She is extremely insightful and after listening patiently and drawing out our personalities, she came up with some awesome ideas the really felt like they represented the core of ourselves and our relationship. We learned about ourselves that day and she made us feel so seen. Once we had a design in mind we worked through size and pricing. For a wedding cake prices were in the mid thousands, which sounds expensive for a cake but we believe is an *extremely* fair price given what you get (especially considering other places in the wedding industry charge through the nose for much less). The price covers a full custom sculpture as well as the incredible design experience mentioned above, a tasting session and high-end flavor experience, and transport. Jasmine took care to work with our budget and gave us a variety of options trading size vs. amount of cake vs. number of flavors in order to get us something we were happy with at a price we were happy with. Then we got to do the flavor tasting, which was ....goodness. We tried three flavors, all of which were unique and delicious and exactly what we had described wanting to try. Jasmine was more than willing to work with us to incorporate minor changes to one of the flavors, and we ended up going with all three. Throughout the process, both Jasmine and her assistant were polite and professional. When we arrived, the cake was set up beautifully. We quite literally gasped when we saw the way the light shone through the petals. It was so perfectly us and felt like an extension of our love. It was a top 10 wedding moment. The first bite was amazing, and the flavors were just as good as we expected from the tasting. Everyone really enjoyed it. At the end of the night, we did have some trouble figuring out how to get the top (styrofoam) half of the cake home, but eventually managed to transport it carefully back. Jasmine gifts both the styrofoam portion and the cake stand to you as part of the package, and the fondant does not go bad so you can keep the sculpture forever. It now adorns our living room. Thank you so much Jasmine for this incredible experience and for memories that will last a lifetime!

It's hard to write this review. I really liked Kathleen and it's clear she cares a lot. And her…read morecakes taste great. Full disclosure I did tell her "I wasn't too picky about particulars as long as it was pretty" and "wasn't worried about things matching" when she asked to me about matching the flowers. I went wrong here, I didn't realize that not wanting to be picky meant she would throw out 100% of the things she said she would do for our cake out the window. She pointed these things out to me when she said she felt she did nothing wrong. She did ask me if it was ok to do two of the four tiers as fake (with sheet cake), which I said I didn't mind. She ended up doing only the bottom tier as cake. The design, goodness, was bonkers. Pictures say more than words, so including them here. Why she would show us her portfolio, know we liked delicate design and mauve colors... and make this colorful, childlike cake is beyond me. We expected what she called the confetti, but what she created was nothing like the confetti she showed us. For reference, top right photo is her cake we picked as a reference, bottom right the colors we said we liked, and the left is what she delivered. Our other vendors were all super concerned about the cake ruining our photos. Guests certainly made comments about it. People liked the flavor, but the cake just looked ridiculous. It looked rushed and sloppy. Given that she texted me about the decorating at 12:30pm on the wedding day for our 3pm delivery is enough evidence to me it was rushed. On our honeymoon she was anxious we didn't like the cake, and offered to "rectify", but when we reached out she refused to offer any amount of refund. I wasn't asking for the full cake to be refunded. Paying $1300 for this cake is a HUGE ripoff considering the cake was 3 tiers of Styrofoam, decorated last minute, looked nothing at all whatsoever like what we asked for... at the most, I think this was worth the $600 it would have cost to buy a plain cake from someone else. It was after all almost no decoration work and mostly a sheet cake. The cake flavors tasted good. People ate the cake. But the experience tasted disappointing.

***To be clear, my husband and I did receive a full refund for our wedding cake***…read more We booked Kathleen to bake our wedding cake in January for our wedding in June. At the first tasting, we booked Kathleen; her cakes were so delicious, full of unique flavor, and soft and fluffy. A few things throughout the process leading up to our wedding went wrong, but nothing that caused us to rethink our decision-- Kathleen canceling our first tasting the day before due to being sick, not responding to emails for several days or even a couple of weeks on more than a few occasions, canceling our second tasting the day of because she didn't order an ingredient with enough time (but she did deliver a few samples to us the next day). Because of these inconsistencies, I checked in with Kathleen 3 days before our wedding to make sure everything was on track for our wedding cake. She responded with, " Yep! Yep! Yep! Can't wait!" Going through with A Spoonful of Sugar cakes was the biggest mistake; we literally hated our wedding cake, which cost almost $1,000. The cake showed up late, after our guests had been seated for the reception. The frosting wasn't even fondant (which we paid for) and it was messy and uneven, with holes and gaps. There were leaves stuck haphazardly around the cake, and we had specifically ordered white sugar flowers to be flowing around the cake. In addition, the flavors were off, and the cake was dry. Please see photos (last few photos are our wedding cake, first photo is our "inspiration" cake that had previously been made by Kathleen). Our entire wedding was beautiful and elegant, and then there was the cake--completely opposite of everything it was supposed to be. I was so angry that I emailed Kathleen the night of our wedding. She responded that she was going through a health crisis and she apologized for the cake not meeting her usual standards. After she didn't offer one, I asked for a refund, and she gave one to us. We got a refund, but our wedding photos include the cake, and it literally makes me sad and disappointed every time I see photos with the cake.

I explained everything to Enez, chose my flavors, and crossed my fingers. She ACED it...everything was exactly as I hoped. Rich, with the perfect combination of sweetness and tartness (that raspberry filling is superb), and the decorations were gorgeous. Do not hesitate to place an order! I know where I'll be going the next time I need some professional bakery magic.

This review covers two experiences with Meowvelous Bakes: a character macaron baking class and a…read morecustom macaron order. Both were an easy 5/5! My wife and I attended a small-group class at Jesse's home and had a great time. Neither of us had any baking experience, but the class was very beginner-friendly. Jesse walked us through making the batter, shaping the characters, and baking the macarons. We were both surprised at how well ours turned out. If you enjoy macarons, cute characters, or want to learn how to make them yourself, I highly recommend it. I also recently ordered custom character macarons for my wife's birthday. It was Jesse's first time making the characters I requested, and they still turned out perfect! She offered helpful suggestions on which designs would work best and accommodated an early pickup to make my commute easier. She was responsive throughout the process and provided clear pickup and macaron aftercare instructions. The macarons turned out really cute and my wife loved them. We've had two wonderful experiences with Jesse and would happily book a class or order from her again!

We love Jesse! She has become our go-to macaron baker for all of our family events.

I knew she was going to make something cute when I first reached out to her, but after seeing it, I was absolutely blown away. She always outdoes herself. The character macarons were $6/piece and round macarons were $4/piece. They are a little smaller than when we first had her macarons last year, but the flavors make up for it. We will always order from Jesse for our future parties.
