About founder

Hello! I am Julia, and macarons are my passion.

My name is Julia Cherenkova, and I am a pastry chef who handcrafts each macaron under the ALMOND brand in my home bakery.

I have spent eight years perfecting this delicate dessert, experimenting with different recipes to unlock its secrets.

ALMOND macarons are made using my own balanced-sweetness recipe, based on almonds, with a delicate filling crafted with French Cacao Barry chocolate.

They have become part of birthdays, weddings, gifts, and life's most important moments for customers who return to the boutique again and again.

I sincerely hope that my macarons will beautifully complement your special moments, and that you will feel the love and care in every piece. Enjoy!

Crunch Fruit Macarons

Crunch Fruit Macarons Recipes + Whipped Ganache Guide A collection of 5 Crunch Fruit Macaron recipes with layered textures, fruit centres, whipped ganaches, optional crunchy inserts and chocolate coatings: Crunch Mango Crunch Blackberry Crunch Coconut & Passionfruit Crunch Cherry & Chocolate Crunch Lemon This collection was inspired by our popular Crunch Fruit Desserts. The desserts quickly became some of the most requested and sold-out flavours, and their most popular combinations became the inspiration for a new Crunch Macarons Collection. Each macaron brings the same idea into a smaller format: a light whipped ganache, a bright fruit centre and contrasting crunchy textures. The collection also includes a practical Whipped Ganache Guide created especially for macarons. You’ll learn what whipped ganache is, how to prepare and whip it correctly, how to avoid and fix common mistakes, and how to store and freeze your fillings. Perfect for bakers who want lighter textures, more stable fillings and more interesting flavour combinations.
