The Mac Box

French macarons made entirely gluten and dairy free anchor the menu at this Lake Charles home-based bakery operating out of the Enterprise Boulevard corridor. The Mac Box specializes in authentic French macarons built on a meringue and almond shell, sandwiched with dairy-free buttercream that gets infused with spices, liquors, and other flavorings worked directly into both the filling and the shell itself. The approach draws from traditional French baking methods while pushing into unexpected flavor territory — a combination that earned the business the Rouge Et Blanc Event Championship in both 2023 and 2025.

The flavor catalog currently spans more than 50 options organized into themed collections. Standouts include Smoky Steen's, Creole Coffee, and Pecan Praline from the savory-leaning "Chef" collection, alongside fruit-forward picks like Blackberry Pistachio and Lemon Blueberry, and the Poppin Bottles lineup featuring options like Bourbon Peach and Peanut Butter Whiskey. Seasonal collections rotate in around holidays and fall months, with flavors such as Pumpkin Cheesecake, King Cake, and Carrot Cake appearing at the appropriate times of year. Orders come packaged in three-packs or the signature 12-count box, and macaron cakes are available in 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch sizes for those looking for a dessert centerpiece.
