Welcome to our blog, More than Macaron. We are Kelly and Chelsea, owners of Le Bon Macaron, a boutique bakery with three locations in our home state of Michigan. More than Macaron is our space to share our love of food, travel, family and style with all of you! We hope you enjoy it and follow along with us.
KELLY
Kelly has been in the boutique bakery business since 2008. She is an award winning cake designer, previous owner of A Piece O’ Cake in East Lansing and the founder of Le Bon Macaron in Ann Arbor, East Lansing and Grand Rapids. Kelly has degrees in French and Art from Albion College and is a self-taught sugar artist.
While her cakes have brought her many awards throughout the years, her proudest accomplishments are her daughters. More than Macaron has been a dream of hers for years, as she has always wanted to share her cake designs and knowledge with the world. Now it’s time to share her expertise with her daughters and inspire others.
Kelly spends her days working for the family business, helping her husband grow his business, Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning, and caring for her daughters and their dogs.
CHELSEA
Chelsea has traveled the world living in both France and Poland, and adventuring around Europe with her Dutchman. Following in her older sister’s francophile shoes, she earned a degree in French Linguistics from Grand Valley State University. From study abroad student, to au pair, to English teacher, to foreign girlfriend, she has her fair share of tips and tales to share.
She moved back to the Mitten in 2015 to join the family business and bring it to new heights. Chelsea is married to her Dutchman and spends her days working with the family business, curating social media content for Le Bon Macaron and caring for her daughter, son and cats, and of course her Dutchman, too.
