Cake Byte: Portland's Pix Patisserie Now Shipping Macarons!
Sunday, March 14, 2010 
Pix Pâtisserie in Portland, Oregon is pretty much the cutest place ever, and I feel sorry for anyone who has never visited.
Happily, now you can get a taste of the action even if you don't live near Portland: they've just started to ship their macarons nationwide!
Per a recent press release, owner Cheryl Wakerhauser
gives a nod to the classic French macaron with some taste make-overs for many of the 30 rotating flavors. The macaron flavors at Pix are inspired by artisan ingredients and the highest quality products available such as locally distilled Trillium Absinthe, Woodford Reserve Bourbon, Fleur de Sel Caramel, and homemade peanut butter...and tempts the flavor palate with hints of sweet and savory from maple bacon to pumpkin spice, espresso, curry and Taylor Fladgate 10-year Tawny Port. And, there are always the French classics represented like cassis-violet, pistachio, and chocolate (only the Pix chocolate is triple chocolate dipped in 75% origin chocolate). For the real adventurer there is the Meka Leka Hi Meka Hiney Ho flavored with Trillium Absinthe and loaded with chocolate covered pop rocks.
Here's the full list of flavors:
- Raspberry
- Woodford Reserve Bourbon
- Hazelnut
- Passion Fruit
- Espresso

- Cheesecake
- Taylor Fladgate 10-year Tawny Port
