Macadons Your local source for uniquely flavored macarons and ice cream For Donna Chan, it was love at first bite. It smell that’s found in Southeast Asia. They began in 2013 when her mother was trying to weren’t the only ones who loved the flavor; bake the classic French treat, macarons. After customers were buying dozens of durian biting into the delicate, airy cookie and the macarons at a time. layer of rich chocolate ganache filling, Donna was immediately hooked. Macarons, not to be confused with macaroons, are notoriously difficult to master; they’re dainty and finicky. From the measurements to the temperature, everything must be precise. The meringue can’t be under or over whisked. The egg whites can’t be too fresh. The piping can’t be uneven either. Not to mention, there are some things out of one’s control, like humidity. The key ingredient? Perseverance. For the next year, Donna traveled and studied the process of making macarons. After spending many sleepless nights researching and testing methods, she finally created perfect traditional macarons. Yet, she still felt like they lacked something, and knew she needed a breakthrough. Embracing her Asian heritage, Donna began infusing unique flavors such as taro, green tea, and other non-traditional flavors into her macarons. They were an instant hit with friends and family who encouraged Donna to continue creating macarons with an Asian flair. And she did exactly that. Macadons (a play off the words “macarons” and “Donna”) was born. Donna and her business partner, Michael Huynh, started with flavors that they both loved, but weren’t typical to macarons. One was durian, a polarizing fruit with a pungent
