Today we’d like to introduce you to Connie Little

Hi Connie, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.

Baking macarons actually started as a pandemic hobby for me! I was looking for something new and challenging to keep me busy, and had a good friend of mine that was a macaron baker. Through her guidance I was able to get started and turned out to really enjoy baking these finicky little treats – I was hooked from there! While my first few years were spent just baking for friends and family, through their encouragement I decided to launch Little Macs as a side business (I’m a full time mom and engineer, so taking on a side hustle was daunting!). It’s been incredibly successful while still giving me a creative outlet I truly enjoy!

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?

Yes and no. There’s a whole lot of regulations and paperwork to get your business started (and if you have no business background like me, it’s quite overwhelming!) Plus, it’s just getting your name out there and letting people know who you are. Lucky for me, I have an incredibly supportive husband and kiddos that helped me through market seasons and time away while I worked events. The plus side was the incredible feedback that I’ve gotten (and continue to receive) from customers new and old!

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?

Baking macarons has definitely given me a creative outlet to experiment with different flavor combinations, colors and designs to help bring a customer’s vision to life. While there’s other macaron bakers in my area, there’s no one else that offer specialty shapes or the flavor combinations that I’ve put together – something I truly pride myself on.

What’s next?

Continuing on my current path, truly. Because I’m a full time mom and engineer and Little Macs is just my side hustle, I want to continue where I’m at now – growing to a brick and mortar or taking Little Macs full time was never the dream. For me, as long as I’m enjoying baking and providing customers with unique treats, I’ll keep Little Macs going!
