From afternoon teas to bespoke wedding favours – Le Mini Macaron has you covered

Growing up with a home economist mum, Joanne Kenyon and her sister Emma were always going to have an appreciation for cooking. But for Joanne, that appreciation fast became a passion – nurtured partly by dad Julian (who, we’ve heard, makes a mean chocolate cake) and sped along by a birthday present Emma bought her eight years ago. The gift in question? A macaron making kit. The problem? The macarons she made with it turned out to be a disaster!

Intrigued by the challenge to help Joanne get them right, mum Gillian got in on the action and, together, Joanne and Gillian kept trying macaron mixture after macaron mixture… until they stumbled upon what can only be described as pure baking greatness. (Trust us – we’ve tried them). Now this dynamic duo are making macarons that consistently steal the show at markets, weddings, and events across the North East.
