Krystel’s Confections

Not sure if the macarons I had today were old or new but they were definitely AMAZING compared to the first time I had them. My favorite is the hazelnut which reminds me of an ferrero rocher! I’m definitely a fan and you will be too if you try it!

If you’re up for some EXTRA excitement and room to allow your taste buds to dance, bite into Macarons handcrafted by Krystels Confections! You’ll get completely lost in extraordinary flavors with so many to choose from. Hats off to the woman that took my breath away through every single bite of heaven.
I am no macaron connoisseur but I can say that I’ve had a fair share in this lifetime even all the way from the birthplace of macarons; Paris! I favor Krystels Confections because of the creativity behind every magical piece and the richness of flavors!

COMPLETE DECADENCE!

I was pretty excited to try her macarons so when I found out they were available for purchase at Seafood City, I dragged my entire family to go get a box. My boys couldn’t believe I wanted to drive all the way up just for macarons, but what can I say? We drive up to stock up on pandesal and ube bread so I really didn’t see a difference ;)
Once we found the display of macarons, my only problem was trying to figure out which package to get. There were a variety of assorted flavors in each box. But I decided to go with the smaller box of 10 flavors for $ 20.99. I was about to go with the bigger box but decided against it cause i wanted to try it first.
As soon as my family and i got home, the fun started ;) We all surrounded the box and did our taste test of each macaron. As a family of 6, you can imagine how anxious my boys were to take a bite. But we each took a bite of each macaron and passed it to the next person while trying to figure out the flavor. Unfortunately there was no information on the box about the flavors included. But trying to guess the flavor wasn’t too hard though since the flavors were very rich and distinct. As soon as you take a bite youre like «oh this one is xxx» I think there were only two we couldn’t figure out, out of the 10. My favorites are the green tea and fruity pebbles macarons. Omg, they’re like heaven in your mouth!
I can definitely see myself coming back for more and even placing a small order with her :)

I’ve been having these macarons since before they started being sold in store and I’ve been a happy customers since then. The flavors she makes are so unique and they are my favorite macarons ever!

I started ordering macarons from Krystel the moment she started. I had saw an Instagram post about her baking/​selling macarons and placed an order after seeing the unique flavors that were being offered.
My first order with Krystel’s Confections I ordered: green tea, Thai tea, chocolate, fruit pebbles, and red velvet. She also threw in smores, strawberry cheesecake and vanilla in there for me to try out. (Which was obviously a plus because it’s nice to try different flavors to see if you like them).
When she began her business it was in a little brown box packaging. When I received my order, I was so amazed at the size of the macarons and for the price. I tried the strawberry cheesecake macaron and fell in love. Each macaron no matter what flavor has such a rich flavor. I’ve tried macarons from numerous places including the bakery at Pike Place but her macarons do not compare to these places.
Krystel’s macarons are beyond perfection. They are (and still are), so soft and fluffy. Compared to the other bakeries that sell macarons, their macarons aren’t as fluffy or soft. Other bakeries have their macarons have a stale taste or taste a bit hard and aren’t good the day after.
I’m so happy to see that she is now selling macarons at Seafood City (located in Southcenter). The packaging now is in a clear plastic box that comes with a card that shows you a list of flavors so you know what macaron you are eating. The price may seem a bit pricey BUT these macarons are fresh, homemade, and unique flavors that other bakeries do not offer.
Tip: Even though she sells macarons in Seafood City, (she stopped taking small orders), but now she is taking small orders again! *Yay* because now if you know what flavors you like and would just prefer your favorite flavors you can just place an order :) BUT you must place an order a week ahead.
I wasn’t a big fan of macarons at all until I tried Krystel’s. Flavors that I thought I would have never liked, i love. I never liked the pistachio macaron from the bakery at Pike Place but Krystel’s pistachio macaron is amazing. But I am hooked onto the strawberry cheesecake! You will not be disappointed in these macarons.

I picked up a box from seafood city. Nicely packaged, cute card identifying all the flavors, and eye catching fun colors. A thumbs up for creative flavors: Guava, fruity pebbles, lychee, ube to name a few. You can definitely taste the flavors but I noticed the cookies are a taaaad dried out but I understand that it’s because it’s been refrigerated and the cookies are a day + old. So No biggie. However, I personally thought the filling was too sweet and fluffy. I was expecting the more decadent ganache like filling. Instead, it was more of a sugary frosting consistency, which some may prefer. It wasn’t bad, but just not my preference. I’m glad I finally got to try them though.

Each flavor has a distinct taste and are so unique. They’re different from others I have tasted!!!

The best macarons I’ve ever had! The packaging is really cute and informative about each flavor of the macarons. The sizes are actually pretty big compared to the ones I usually get and they’re all homemade so that’s a big plus! The consistency and texture is perfect. The flavors are fun and tastes exactly as expected. It’s a bit pricey but definitely worth it! I’m always excited when it gets restocked!
