Hi friends! Have you had enough of all of the preventable gun violence in America? Omg no way, me too. Any time there’s a mass shooting in the news, I make a donation to because they are doing everything they can to help end gun violence. And if you live here, you know that is a frequent occurrence. While in yet another pit of despair last month, I wanted to do a little something more to help. So I decided to leverage these delish little macarons to help raise some more money.

Check out my stories today 7/28 to participate in an auction for the chance to snag a dozen Cinnamon Toast Crunch macarons! The two highest bidders will each win a box. All proceeds will go to Everytown, and I will match it (up to $250).

Winning bidders must be able to pick up in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, or be willing to pay $10 for shipping if located somewhere else within the contiguous US.

Also! Please give a follow to take action and get involved in the federal ban of assault weapons. Today’s CTA is to call Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer to demand a house vote on HR 1808. I’ve placed their phone numbers and a short script in my stories as well!

chocolate shells x black cherry chocolate chip buttercream
Fresh macs, comin’ atcha! Inspired by insanely delish black cherry chocolate chip ice cream. And the reviews are in. My number one pastry critic, Vivi (age almost-4) states: “This flavor is really, really, really, REALLY good!!”

mango shells x mango tajín buttercream + sprinkled tajín
I first learned about Tajín a few years back from a friend at work. She had some at her desk and would sprinkle it on pretty much anything. One particularly busy week, someone got our team a giant bag of Albanese gummy bears, and at some point, Tajín was sprinkled on a grapefruit flavored bear. It sounds super gross, but is actually super wonderful—everyone tried it and agreed. And do you know what else is super wonderful? These mango Tajín macs. The spice brings out an extra zinginess in the mango that is just *chef’s kiss*.

If this makes you go try Tajín on a gummy bear, let me know what you think!
