BILLY MACS

In a perfect storm of one man's obsession with French patisserie and the total dearth of French pastries in the rural area of northwest North Carolina where he lives, combined with a boatload of free time on his hands following retirement during a worldwide pandemic, BILLY MACS macarons was born... Bill Colvard, alter ego of Billy Macs, is a self-taught pastry chef (who cringes at the chutzpah of referring to himself as such), but nonetheless, it is true that he taught himself to make macarons, the most finicky of beasts in the classical repertoire of French patisserie... Typically, any given week will result in a new flavor or perhaps a reprise of an old flavor. Sometimes, there are two flavors, and a mixed dozen is possible. Holidays present their own assortments.
