Hi, I’m Dana, the proud founder of Dana’s Macarons. My journey is one that’s deeply rooted in passion, persistence, and a love for celebrating cultural flavours through the art of baking.

​

I was born in Sri Lanka and raised in Dubai, where I grew up surrounded by the vibrant spices of my Sri Lankan heritage and the indulgent sweetness of Middle Eastern desserts. In 2009, I moved to the UK, and that opened my eyes to the world of classic British bakes. All of these influences have shaped the way I approach baking today—bringing together bold, familiar flavours with refined techniques.

​

My love for macarons started quite unexpectedly. One day, I decided to bake a batch, even though I had never tried making them before. To my surprise, they turned out beautifully. I would call it love at first sight!

​

Of course, it didn’t stay that easy. Perfecting the macaron took time. From getting the shell texture just right to creating perfectly balanced fillings, every detail mattered—and I had to learn it all on my own. It was a steep learning curve, but I gave it my all. I experimented, I failed, I learned, and I improved with every single batch. Over time, what once felt overwhelming became something I genuinely loved mastering.

​

Baking, for me, comes naturally. It’s not just macarons that bring me joy—baking as a whole is something I truly enjoy. That passion has led me to expand our offerings beyond macarons, and I’m excited to now include delicate, buttery madeleines in our range.

​

I’m proud to say I’m a self-taught baker. Today, I create premium, handcrafted treats for those looking for a little bite of luxury. Every flavour I offer reflects part of my journey—my heritage, my memories, and my passion.

And if my creations manage to bring a smile to your face or satisfy your sweet tooth, then I know I’ve done my job well.

Dana,
