For the early morning risers starting your Thanksgiving meal, those heading out for that Black Friday deal, and the avid “It’s perfect” Christmas tree explorer who needs to come home to a warm cup of coffee. These biscottis will last alllllll weekend long for you and the whole family to enjoy. I honestly can’t pick a favorite flavor!

I am honored to share the next organization Give Mac will be donating to- St. John's Ministries! The great thing about Give Mac is that we give back, but just as valuable is that we are also able to bring awareness to the great organizations in our community we may not even know about. I love asking for your suggestions and I'm so thankful for this one. St. John's Ministries helps the homeless and those at-risk in Green Bay with shelter and resources to get back to self-sufficiency. "Our mission is to honor the dignity, restore hope and create lasting change for those experiencing homelessness or housing instability in the Green Bay community." St. John’s Ministries believes "that each person is unique, with the same inherent worth as the day they were born. We meet each of our guests right where they’re at and walk alongside them on their journey. Our vision is that through a spirit of familiarity, rapport and trust, each person will leave better than they came." Ten percent of all purchases made through 4.30.23 will be donated back to St. John's. Please visit their website to learn more!
11.11.22
HERE IT IS IS- we raised $385 for Girls on the Run of Northeast Wisconsin! Amazing! If you have the chance, please visit their website and check out their incredible mission.
Sending these donations off is the best part of this baking process and I wouldn't be able to do it with all of you. As we approach this holiday season I'm feeling more grateful than ever and can't wait to share some Winter treats with you. Thank you so so so much!

I'm so excited to announce the next organization Give Mac will be donating to. Drumrollllll puh-leeeeasse.....
All purchases made through 11.12.2022 will be donated to Girls on the Run of Northeast Wisconsin. Their mission is to "inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running." They "envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams." You can learn more about Girls on the Run here.
As a runner myself, this one is personal. I'm so thrilled to work with them and so energized to bake my heart out for you.

What a wild 6 months! From halting macarons, to baking cakes and cupcakes, to breakfast biscuits, to cake toppers, and finally back to macarons. I'm so grateful for all your orders and all the love with this round of giving back.
We raised $688 for We All Rise: African American Resource Center! $688! And to top it all off we were able to celebrate with them at their Juneteenth event. It was so special and so much fun!
I'm hoping to announce our next organization in the coming weeks so stay tuned and keep those orders coming. Yay!
6.6.22
Yay! As many of you know, I took a break from selling macarons to work on a more reliable recipe with "the best" egg white replacement, potato protein. Turns out it wasn't all that great. So I went back to my old recipe using aquafaba, worked on a few tricks and techniques, and here we are!
Ordering is LIVE, but it's going to look a little different for the time being so please check out our macaron page for more details. First day of macaron pick-ups (in Appleton) will begin this Sunday, June 12.
(I am a one woman show so hopefully everything is set up correctly for placing orders. You are not charged at the time of your order and I will reach out to via email within 24 hours to confirm. The time of your order will hold your place in line. If you have any difficulties you can always just email me.)

Memorial Day weekend cupcake pre-order! This is a great opportunity to try multiple flavors. Each box contains one dozen cupcakes ($36). Contains gluten. No substitutions.
Order deadline is Thursday, May 26th at 10am or until sold out. You can order through our website or send us an email at givemacmacarons@gmail.com Pick-up is in Appleton on Friday 5/27 from Noon to 7pm. Yum!

Crumbfetti!
Rainbow sprinkled vanilla cake and perfectly crunchy cake crumbs in each layer of our tangy cream cheese frosting.
Order this cake as pictured, add a simple cake topper, or we can cover it with more cream cheese frosting and decorate it to your match your theme. It is perfection.
You can still find Funfetti on the menu if you prefer the classic version. It is ridiculously delicious too.
4.20.22
Wow! Two months of selling cakes and cupcakes and you all have kept me busy. I am so incredibly grateful!
Let's start with the fun news first! We have added two new items to the menu. Our 24Carrot Magic cake is so special- roasted carrots, cinnamon, cardamom, toasted walnuts, and a hint of lemon. Covered in our sweet and tangy cream cheese frosting. AND we have our Big Fancy Brunch Biscuit (found in the specialty cakes section). It is a JUMBO buttermilk biscuit that is deliciously buttery and sweet. Fill with your choice of a lemon curd, seedless raspberry jam, or a sweet cherry filling. Serves 10-12!
And the boring news...working full time at my "real job" and giving 120% of my love into Give Mac has shown me my limits. I will be taking a maximum of two orders per week. No booking is too far out and no booking is too near, but when I'm booked-I'm booked.
I am so excited to continue to bake for you. So excited.
2.23.22
It's official- cakes, cupcakes and smash balls are here! Even though macarons are still on hold we've managed to make lemonade out of lemons. Well, cakes out of macarons.
See the new tab for the new menu and "in progress" cake/cupcake flavor list.
Orders will be very limited so please book early. Appleton pick up is preferred and I will be working on delivery fees. If you have questions just reach out. I'd love to work something out.

"I have not failed. I just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Nikola Tesla
Hey, it's me. Although you don't really know me yet. My name is Cassandra and I'm the owner of Give Mac and the only person behind the scenes of all those cute little French desserts (besides my husband who has been a trooper with taste testing countless amounts of fillings).
Macarons are hard. Vegan macarons are straight up rude. “Fake it till you make it” was working, but behind those scenes...I'm tired. And sick of wasting products hoping it's going to be a "good batch day.” Something needs to change if I’m going to grow and continue this dream.
The change? I'm currently waiting on a new protein to replace my aquafaba and it should be more reliable. Unfortunately, it won't be delivered in time for me to practice and confidently promise you all perfect Valentine's Day macarons.
So, here is the good news...I love to bake. Making a cherry pie over Christmas for family and baking birthday cakes for a couple of friends helped remind me why I started this whole journey. I know my flavors are amazing. I know you can confidently share my desserts with friends and family who aren't vegan and they'll love them just the same. I know I want to continue to "give back."
Please stay tuned for a different type of Valentine's Day baking from yours truly, Cassandra (aka Give Mac).
12.28.21
When referring to Give Mac I often say "we" and "us." Now, this is a one woman show...but, it is also most certainly NOT a one woman show.
I can't thank YOU all enough for your purchases, your feedback, your support, and I am so so so grateful for your extra donations. WE did this. $565 was donated to HarborHouse. Incredible. Thank you.
Harbor House's mission is "to empower communities to be free from domestic abuse through safety, knowledge, and engagement." Click here for more information.

Oh Em Gee. I'm so excited to announce a collaboration with the seriously fantastic, Lissie's Dulce Desserts. Order a treat box from her website.

Finally in my updated kitchen and I'm SO ready to bake for you. Now accepting custom orders!
7.7.2021
The good news is we moved into our new home! Bad news is our kitchen needs to be updated. I'll be taking an unexpected pause for the next couple of months, but I hope to be back Fall of 2021. In the meantime I'll be perfecting the fillings and testing out some new ideas. Stay tuned!
5.30.21
Thank you for all of your custom orders this month! It was so much fun to bake for you and have you trust me with your special occasions. I'm happy to share that $125 will be donated to Autumn Farm Sanctuary. They are 100% volunteer owned and operated! Visit their website to donate, volunteer, or provide some supplies from their wish list. Also, you can follow them on Instagram to see all the amazing animals they've rescued and care for.
