Macarons are delicate French pastries that date back to the 18th Century. These sandwich-like pastries are often filled with a sweet cream or ganache. Paulette is an exquisite bakery housed in both Beverly Hills and San Francisco that creates these delicate Parisian sweets. Out East there has been a trend toward giving these as wedding favors in a sweet little box. Why not consider using these tasty treats as the main dessert at the reception? Paulette offers some classic flavors and many innovative specialties, as well. Très chic!

Perfect for any occasion, these round meringue-like domes have a flat base, making them perfect for stacking and creating the most unique presentations.
