About me
Hi!
My name is Mercedesz Ficzere, and what I love even more than macarons themselves is CREATING them.
I earned my pastry chef qualification in Budapest, Hungary, in 2014. During my years as a trainee, I had the opportunity to gain practical experience at the Le Meridien Budapest, where I was first introduced to the magic of macarons.
After completing my qualification, I shifted my focus to economics and worked in accounting for several years. However, life took me abroad, and love led me to the remote Shetland Islands. In Shetland, my passion for macarons was reignited. Creating the macarons you see in the pictures was a long and challenging journey. I encountered many failures—countless hours sitting in front of the oven, hoping the macarons would turn out right. It took me at least a year of experimentation to find the perfect proportions, identify the right ingredients and tools, not to mention mastering the baking parameters! During this time, I also built a small business, running it myself and sharing my macarons with the local community. Despite the challenges, I knew that all my efforts would eventually pay off, and today, I’m proud to say that my macarons are a true labour of love.
After spending several wonderful years in Shetland, we moved to Aberdeen in December 2024, where new adventures and opportunities await us :)
I believe we all have one thing in common: our LOVE for macarons!
Whether you’ve stumbled upon this page out of curiosity or have been searching for the perfect macaron, we share that special connection, and I’m so excited to be able to share my creations with you.
With love,
Mercedesz
