We've all been waiting for Yeah Baby Bakes! to open a storefront. Her weekly macaron teases on Instagram previewing her flavors couldn't keep up the demand. With a cute little niche spot in Spencerport, I think we can expect great things from her in the coming months.
Sam is an amazing baker, and found her groove as the world shut down for the pandemic last March. She took her time to really get down the art of the mac, and has nailed it. You can yell NAILED IT! in a Nicole Byer voice for me after you take a bite of your first one.
I sound like a thespian, but as someone who frequented LaDurée in Paris, I think Sam's macs are better. You can fight me, but no one compares locally. Lots of bakeries produce hollow, or charming attempts because they are not using the correct oven. This produces macarons that are lopsided, over-fluffed, sunken, or sad cracked pieces of shit. Do me a favor and say it correctly too? Please? Macarons are what you are getting not mac-a-roons (aka a chocolate coconut turd-lettes). The macs you will get here are better quality than anything in the area. There is something to say about be a master of an art vs. a jack of all trades.
Yeah Baby Bakes brims with creativity, as she continues to pump out a voluminous amount of flavors in her rotation. She made one with a reduction of Mortalis Brewings Hydra Beer. Nostalgia 90s desserts? Refined works of art with gold foil? Nailed it. Even though she had a broad range of flavors on her website, Sam takes custom orders, and will make mac towers for weddings/events.
Did I mention that Sam also makes gluten free flavors? Perfect for local loves with sensitivities, and celiacs.
Currently her website drops the week's flavors at 6:30 sharp on Thursday, with a 9am-1pm pickup on Saturdays at her storefront. We might be seeing more in the upcoming weeks.
Set your Thursday night alarms sweeties, she sells out in less than 5 minutes. Hopefully now that she left teaching to mac with us full time you will be able to get your own grubby hands on a set of these delicate clouds of heaven in a cute ass box. read more
