The Weekly Mac

This week’s flavor is Honey Butter on Toast! 🐝🍯🧈🍞

Toasty cracker shells filled with whipped honey butter, topped off with maldon salt.

I love a sweet and salty treat…and I also love butter (like…who doesn’t?) These macs totally nailed the combo! The savory crackers in the shells, the wildflower honey, and that final hit of crumbly salt made for a really fun, dynamic flavor! I know some people were a little skeptical of this flavor, but they are nothing short of delightful.

This past week’s flavor was Lucky Charms! ☘️🌈🩷⭐️

Lucky Charms shells filled with Lucky Charms Buttercream, embellished with Lucky Charms Marshmallows. 

Since starting The Weekly Mac in 2017, I’ve made this flavor 3 times. And each time, I’ve said “I will never make these again.” But then time passes and I think about how cute they are, and I casually forget how labor-intensive the process is. Each of the marshmallows must be cut down to the correct size to fit around the edges of each mac, and arranged in an aesthetically-pleasing color pattern. (When I say “must be,” I fully realize this is a me-problem.) I do love how these taste exactly like a bowl of Lucky Charms in macaron form, so I’ll inevitably make them again someday.

It has been a long-running dream of mine to open an afternoon tea house. A few years ago, I thought I was going to quit my career in advertising and just go for it! But the pandemic hit, so the timing was obviously not meant to be. But the universe has definitely been universe-ing, and I still can’t believe I finally got to step away from a career that felt like it was killing me and go full time with The Weekly Mac. It has brought me so much joy to bake all of you macarons every week, and I love that I can also sprinkle in little nods to my future dreams along the way—like with these cream tea boxes filled with my absolute favorite treats.
