What is a “Macaron Cake”?
A macaron is a French “sandwich cookie” made only with almond flour, powdered sugar, egg whites, and sugar — filled with buttercream.
Traditionally macarons are round, but the best part about them is that they can be made into any shape, for any and every occasion!
Macaron Cakes are large, shaped macarons stacked and decorated like a cake.

Anna Kate Andrews
I founded this baking business (formerly known as Macarons by AK) in the fall of my senior year at Ole Miss. It began at The Cakery in Oxford, but by October they were being sold in stores throughout Mississippi. I spent most of my nights in The Cakery kitchen making macarons- trying new flavors, shapes, and designs while listening to lectures and submitting assignments. After graduating in May of 2021, I moved home to Vicksburg where my joy for baking these Mississippi-made macarons has only grown.
In 2022 my husband, Sam Andrews, and I purchased Anchuca Historic Mansion & Inn. We have since incorporated “Macarons by AK” into Anchuca by selling my products out of Anchuca’s storefront and turning the pool house into my very own commercial kitchen.
Anchuca has allowed me to expand my customer base and even begin trying new desserts (with plenty of people to taste test!) The name “AK’s Bakery at Anchuca” reflects the wide range of products we are able to make while paying homage to the place that helped me grow. All products can be purchased at Anchuca Historic Mansion & Inn, and with each new guest, holiday, and/or event comes the opportunity to create something new!
Mississippi Macarons
These are my signature “Mississippi macarons.” They are in the shape of the state of Mississippi, and a red heart is in the place of my hometown, Vicksburg.
