Community That Connects

From local markets to regional partners, we proudly collaborate with fellow Alaskans to uplift the people and places that make this state home.

Events That Impress

Whether it’s a wedding tower or corporate celebration, our macarons are designed to turn heads and spark delight, no matter the guest list.

Gifting with Meaning

Going beyond the typical gift. Offering handcrafted, gluten-free, and heartfelt desserts for people who deserve something special.

Every macaron is made in small batches with premium ingredients, tested techniques, and Alaskan heart and craftsmanship. Gluten-free by design, our macarons deliver a finished product that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. From color-matching to flavor pairing to edible logo printing, we customize each order with the same level of care you bring to your event, brand, or gift.

We do not cut corners. We craft experiences. Whether you’re ordering 12 for a gift or 1,200 for an event, we bring the same commitment to every order.

Emily never set out to start a business. She just wanted to give something meaningful. Emily knows what it means to care deeply about the details. She’s a self-taught baker, a mom, and a former hospitality pro who understands that every gift and gathering has a bigger story behind it. Mt. Magnificent Macarons has become a go-to for Alaskans who wanted more from their desserts.

Today, her macarons continue to honor that legacy: a little rugged, a lot refined, always full of heart. With each macaron, she brings intention, professionalism, and just the right amount of creative flair—so you can show up beautifully, every time.

This story started in a candy kitchen and ends with your guests raving.

Alaskan-Made. Family-Fueled.

Legacy in Every Layer

Inspired by her grandmother Bess Ballard, who ran a beloved confections company in the Pacific Northwest, Emily grew up in the kitchen surrounded by sweet creations and the joy of gifting homemade treats.

Gifts That Sparked a Business

What began as a way to gift handmade macarons to friends and family quickly revealed a bigger need. Our community was craving high-quality, handcrafted food gifts that were thoughtful, beautiful, and gluten-free.

Spreading Joy Through Macarons

Today, Mt. Magnificent Macarons supplies delicate macarons for personal, corporate, retail, and special events — and teaches others to create them, continuing a family legacy of craftsmanship, and joy.

What began as a family tradition and a personal gift has grown into a community-centered macaron business honoring legacy, connection, and craft.

How long do macarons last?

Our macarons stay fresh for up to 5 days in the fridge and can be frozen for up to 1 month. Let them come to room temperature before serving for best texture. Handle with care when frozen as they'll be extra fragile.
