Press release from Le Macaron

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Friends don’t let friends eat fruitcakes. That’s the message of Le Macaron French Pastries, which is encouraging customers to elevate gift-giving this year with elegant macaron towers, gift boxes, and gourmet chocolates. Drop by the shop at 4949 Celebration Pointe Avenue and taste the delicious macarons, gourmet chocolates, and pastries to your heart’s content, or take a box or two back to your colleagues. Here’s more on why owner Peter Amato believes macarons are the perfect gift:

“People are always looking for memorable gift ideas, so we believe our colorful, scrumptious macarons handmade by French chefs will make a memorable and lasting impression,” he said. “So, there’s a reason the saying about friends not gifting fruitcake to friends is well known – fruitcakes had their heyday for decades, and now people have moved on to more sophisticated and original gifts. We believe macarons rank high on any list and encourage anyone to drop by and check out our macaron towers and gift boxes for special occasions.”
