Classic coconut macaroons. Moist, chewy, and flour free. Our recipe originated in the Lower East Side of New York and arrived at Bennison's via an old seasoned baker many years ago. We have plain coconut (left) for $13.95/lb., coconut with cocoa baked in (center) for $13.95/lb. and chocolate iced (right) for $15.95/lb.

Traditional holiday honey cake, lightly sweet and very moist. Sprinkled with sliced almonds before baking. Honey cake is sold as a 1 pound loaf for $7.49.

For our almond macaroons, we start with a classic French formula of almonds, egg whites and sugar with a ganache filling. Close your eyes when you eat them and you can almost see the Eiffel Tower. Flour free, we have Pistachio, Lemon, Chocolate, Mocha and Raspberry, each for $1.17.

To make our macaroon sponge cake, we bake a plain square sponge cake and top it with coconut macaroon mix in a tic-tac-toe board pattern. We then fill in the spaces with raspberry, apricot and pineapple jams. $9.99
