I have some exciting news for Treats by Bridie, Macarons are now available in Geelong and Barwon Heads!
Things really have grown since the first market which is fantastic. Business is growing fast which is scary and exciting all at the same time. A big thank you to all who have supported us so far. I never dreamed that I would be making 1000 macarons (and rising) a week and now that seems to be all I dream of - if I get some sleep.
Yes some nights Michael (my husband) and I don't get any sleep but we probably wouldn't have had any anyway with any one of the kids deciding our bed is more comfortable than theirs and then somehow, while being sound asleep, turning into a mini human washing machine thrashing about all over the bed and driving us crazy!
Yes its about time I give a big mention to Michael for all the work he puts in, washing many a dish, grinding massive amounts of tant pour tant (almond meal and icing sugar mixture) and putting up with my tantrums. He told me the other day that the dish washer needs more recognition but I politely informed him that he was kind of like the drummer in a band, it's always all about the lead singer!
Keep an eye out in the coming weeks for some more stockists and scroll down to find out more about our new stockists....
Enjoy!

Tanya & Liz from The Stag Restaurant in Port Fairy have been regular macaron customers at market and ever encouraging of my leap into the baking business.
They have now paid me the ultimate compliment by featuring Treats by Bridie Macarons on the menu. Wow! Still a little in shock about this but very excited.The focus at the Stag is on fresh, local, good quality produce.
