April 24, 2026 – A group of business owners in Sulphur Springs are joining together to put on a evening market on Connally St on May 9th, 2026. The pre-Mother’s Day event will have a variety of offerings, but will partially focus on what Moms might like.
One local business in particular will be selling homemade macarons.
A macaron is a delicate French meringue-based confection made from almond flour, egg whites, and sugar, sandwiched with a filling like buttercream or ganache. Known for its smooth, domed top, ruffled “foot,” and flat base, it has a crisp exterior and a soft, chewy interior, with a wide variety of flavors and colors.
Ellarie’s, owned by Jessica Ammerman, considers these french confections a specialty. KSST had a chance to talk with Jessica Ammerman about baking macrons, and some of the events her business will be a part of.
Jessica and her husband Marcos moved to the Sulphur Springs area a few years ago. She is excited for the opportunites that lie ahead for business and growing family. “Baking macarons is a passion of mine and it made sense to start this business because there aren’t any quality ones available in a 60 mile radius.”, said Jessica.
They have a small property here in Sulphur Springs with their own flock of chickens. Macarons require eggs, and Jessica says her hens are on year around duty.
She also makes her own fillings and only uses a small amount of food coloring in the shells to help keep the flavors separate and easy to identify. Besides, if you make a macaron frog, it really needs it to be green.
At the Connally Collective event Jessica will be selling a selection of macrons. There will be pre-made boxes you can grab and go. A case filled with various flavors will also be available so you can choose your box, customized for that special Mom in your life.
On May 2, she will be partnering with Deep Routes for a Mother’s Day Tea featuring mini macarons.
Since mid February, Ellarie’s macarons are available at Clementine & Co
They are currently available at Haystacks new coffee bar window on Main.
Ellarie’s will also be partnering with Flowerland for Mothers Day with macarons available on May 7th.
