the story of honey B's macarons
It was two delightful young ladies, Michelle's daughters, Kathryn and Karenna, who inspired honey B’s macarons. They asked Michelle on a warm summer day in July 2013 if she would make them some macarons. That one request started a new journey for Michelle. They live at 6,500 feet in the foothills of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains and macarons are a delicate treat that can be difficult to make at high elevation. But with much persistence, she perfected the art of making the macaron shells using the French method. Then it was on to developing delicious fillings – because if it isn’t delicious, you shouldn’t eat it.
And this is where Michelle’s husband, Brent, comes in. Michelle’s pet name for Brent is ‘Honey B’, in part, because he’s so sweet, but also because he nurtures honeybees. They have three hives in Castle Pines, Colorado. When it came to developing fillings for the macarons, Michelle experimented with honey from the hives. The flavor was phenomenal! She decided that honey would be the signature flavor and that ‘Honey B’s Macarons’ was the name most fitting for her new company.
In creating an authentic French macaron, Michelle believes that only natural ingredients should be in the fillings and that is what makes them so delicious. The fact that macarons are gluten-free is an added plus, because so many people are gluten intolerant.
Michelle realized that through making macarons, she could fuse her creativity and attention to detail with her clients' desire to create extraordinary pieces for their special occasions.

we give back
We support many important causes throughout the year, but one of our favorite charities is Icing Smiles. Again this year, we partnered with them to create a 'fun cake' to celebrate the life of a special child. We were introduced to Sebastian and his family and asked to make his first birthday cake. Sebastian is a liver transplant recipient. His mom, Courtney wrote, "On Sebastian's second day of life, they didn't think he would make it, but a year later he is here, and he is doing great!" She asked us to create a Little Baby Bum themed cake and left the final design up to us. The one caveat was that we use no milk in the frosting. Our bakery is a dedicated gluten-free facility so we went with our amazing gluten-free chocolate cake.

Our lives are enriched by partnering with families, through Icing Smiles, an international non-profit which connects the families of critically ill children with bakers to provide a fun cake to celebrate major milestones. It's all about 'baking a difference' and we couldn't have been happier to be a part of Sebastian's celebration. If you'd like to support this great cause and add a serious smile to your face, more information can be found here.
We are grateful to those who helped design and create our website:
