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!
