OUR STORY
Honey & Butter is a specialty macaron shop located inside the shopping center of Irvine Spectrum in Irvine, California.
Honey & Butter is owned & managed by Leanne & Pawel Pietrasinski.
We both are self-taught bakers. Everything we have learned up to this point is from either trial & error, personal experiences, or the desire to be better at what we do. We started baking macarons from our studio apartment in 2014 then selling them out of a rental airstream trailer at THE LAB in Costa Mesa.
We’ve come a long way since then. Our concept evolved from just a few macaron flavors to a spectacular selection that rotates weekly. We also hold events, featuring brands & other small businesses that we personally love.
Our macarons are baked in the morning from Thursday to Monday (the team’s gotta rest). Unlike traditional macarons, we do not age ours.
All of our ingredients are personally sourced by us. We make all of our buttercreams, jams, reductions, sauces, & ganache in-house. Prepping our ingredients in-house, while tedious & requires much more labor, gives us control over the sweetness & texture of the final product that we cannot get with a premade market-bought product.
