Macaron Day returns on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, and Mon Paris Pâtisserie is delighted to once again participate in this meaningful annual charitable event. This year, owner and pastry chef Elena Krasnova will donate 50% of proceeds from Mon Paris Pâtisserie’s macaron sales on March 20th to the Burnaby location of the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BC SPCA).
Elena adopted her beloved cat, Sasha, from the Burnaby BC SPCA 19 years ago. Sasha passed away in November 2023, and Elena wishes to donate proceeds from this year’s Macaron Day in Sasha’s honor. The BC SPCA serves to protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm, and wild animals in British Columbia.
Also, in celebration of this famous French cookie and the arrival of spring, Elena will be bringing back her popular Sakura Strawberry Macaron. With distinct flavors of cherry blossom and strawberry, this limited edition seasonal treat won’t last long.
Founded in France by Pierre Hermé in 2005 as a way to raise money for charity, Macaron Day has caught on in cities all over the world. Visit Mon Paris Pâtisserie (4396 Beresford St., Burnaby) on Macaron Day in honour of this delicious Parisian treat and in support of animals in need.
