Sucre´ Macarons Giveaway!


I took a trip to New Orleans in college, and when I think back, it was kind of a waste.  I definitely didn't take advantage of the amazing local cuisine and shopping... what can I say, I had different... priorities back then.  However, I'd love to visit again, and I already have a list of places to eat/drink/shop.  

Sucre´ is definitely at the top of the list.  It's a sweet shop that offers all sorts of chocolates, candies, confections, and macarons.  When I was first contacted to host a giveaway, I got lost on their website looking at all of the offerings.  Chocolates in every imaginable flavor and combination, handmade marshmallows, caramels, gift baskets, and beautiful macarons. 



I absolutely love macarons.  I received a box of their signature collection, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that they were gone within two days.  Every time I ate one, I proclaimed it to be "my favorite."  So they were all super tasty, but the standouts for me were the strawberry, bananas foster, carrot cake, and almond.  I had initially planned to eat 1-2 by myself, then take the rest to my mother-in-law's for Easter.  But they didn't last long enough.  Sorry, not sorry.


So on to the giveaway:  Who wants to win some macarons?  I'll be giving away a box of their 15-piece Signature Collection to one lucky reader!  To enter, answer this question:  What city do you wish you could re-visit?  New Orleans and New York are definitely at the top of my list!

Rules, disclaimers, etc:
  • One entry per person.
  • US residents only - sorry!
  • You must leave a valid email address to be eligible.  
  • Giveaway closes Friday, April 26th at 11:59 pm.  Winner will be chosen by a random number generator.
  • This giveaway is sponsored by Sucre´.  I received a box of the macarons from them, but all opinions are my own.
Thanks!!

I want to revisit Chicago. We only got to stay for a short period of time and I would love to see more of the sights.

Lisa T said...

I would re-visit Venice. I was there so briefly and I was a poor college student. I would love to go back and eat FOOD and ride the gondolas :)

Tamara Williamson said...

I would re-visit San Francisco but, this time with Brian in tow. The food, the wine, the crusty bread. Mmmm.

Kathryn Melear said...

This is going to sound really staged, but I would love to revisit Boston. My husband was unable to go with me, and I want to take him there some day. I think he'd love it.

Katie Mandel said...

New York for sure! I was strangely obsessed with eating "New York" cheesecake and ignored all the other food options the city has to offer! My next trip will be so different. :)

Mae Klingler said...

Definitely Portland, Oregon. So much character and individuality. Always something new around the corner makes for a great adventure!

Kelli Holtzinger said...

I would visit Mainz, Germany again with my fiance'! :)

AnnaZed said...

I grew up in New Orleans and lived several decades in New York but I would love to revisit Edinburgh in Scotland; so beautiful and fun and alive.

Amy Chmura said...

I'd love to go back to San Francisco again... But there are also so many cities I've yet to see and I love exploring new places

Marie said...

Funny you should mention New Orleans, because that would be my choice too! I never really got to visit, but I passed through on a train ride and wish I could have had time to roam around the city.

Victoria McCullouch said...

I love NY, adored New Orleans, experienced San Antonio, but can't wait to get back to Jerusalem. The old world meets new world feeling between the walled city and the modern city amazes me. Love the culture, the people, and the food!

Cindi said...

I'd love to revisit Los Angeles. My brother and sweet nephews live there, and my hubby & son have never been.

Juanita's Cocina said...

I'd love to revisit Washington DC!

Sara said...

I would love to go back to Paris!

Melissa Sharpe Herrmann said...

I would love to try macarons!

Ali Coe said...

I LOVE macarons! I wish I could revisit Rome. I really loved that city and Italy in general.

Courtney Bilos said...

I've never had a macaron..I think this needs to be remedied. I would love to re-visit New Orleans, and Savannah. I love southern charm!

Paula said...

New York...I went in college and need to soak it up as a true adult.

jbhobgood@gmail.com said...

Definitely New Orleans. It's my dad's hometown, but I haven't been back since I was in college. I can't wait to show it to my kiddos!

Ashley T said...

I can't wait to re-visit Florence, Italy. One of my favorite places when I studied abroad!

Bree Belteau Hobgood said...

New Orleans...it's my dad's hometown, but I have not appreciated it as an adult yet!

Anne said...

Limerick, Ireland where I studied for a summer! My husband and I would just LOVE to go to Ireland and Italy sometime.

Kellbella said...

I definitely need to go back to Austin, such a fun foodie city!

Lindsay Cowee said...

I never understood the hype of macarons, until I finally had one at Bouchon Bakery in Yountville, CA. I LOVED wine country so much, I cannot wait to go back (for the macarons as much as the wine!)

Rachel Feyre said...

I definitely need to go back to NYC--I went in college but didn't appreciate it really!

chelaib said...

Florence, Italy. I'm ready to eat my way through that place again!

Heather Gero-Fudger said...

San Francisco! heatherfudger@hotmail.com

Heather said...

What a great giveaway! My dream city to go back to is Salzburg, Austria! Stateside, I would love to go back to Savannah, GA. Haven’t been is such a long time.

Robyn Johnston said...

Oddly, my hometown, San Diego. I always took for granted the idea that I could go wander around there whenever I wanted, and I never really did. Now that I only go back once a year, I realize how much of the downtown, museum scene, and awesome authentic Asian food and culture I never really checked out.



When I go back each year, I promise myself I'll go downtown and explore, but I always run out of time.

Tobie Blanchard said...

Innsbruk Austria

Abbi Rettig said...

Frankfurt, Germany - amazing food!

Kellie said...

Charleston, South Carolina

Kelsey Morgan said...

New Orleans is definitely tops on my list, too. I'd also say Charleston, but I get to go there almost every summer. Can't wait for this year's trip!

Hilary said...

Cape Town, South Africa. It is the most beautiful place I have ever been!

Lindsay (life and kitchen) said...

I would love to go back to New Orleans and Las Vegas. I visited both when I was in middle/high school and I bet it would be a completely different trip now!

PhillipandSarah Hogan said...

Yountville, CA. I just made my first batch of bouchons yesterday:)

TheWaytoHisHeart said...

I wish I could re-visit Savannah. I loved the city, but went with a college group for a conference and we weren't allowed to explore.

Rachel Martens said...

I would love to visit Dallas again. My best friend and her husband live there, and the food scene is really growing!

Heather Grossner said...

I would love to visit Key West again. My husband and I went there on our honeymoon, and it was wonderful! It was so laid back, and the food was just to die for. Really.

Stefanie Stone said...

I definitely want to revisit New Orleans but I have to say that first I must go back to Las Vegas. I went when I was 16 and while the shows (Beatles Love Cirque du Soleil, Phantom of the Opera) were good, going to bed by 11 (it was my mom, aunt, granny, and me) was not the Las Vegas experience that I want now that I'm older.

Loz said...

I wish I could visit Chicago again. Like you, my trip was in college and I didn't understand what great food there was or where to find it. I mistakenly thought Chicago was only about deep-dish pizza!

Cinco de May Girl said...

Chicago! I used to live within driving distance and got to visit once a year or so, and now I haven't been in nearly ten years and I miss it.

Sarah Bates said...

London. I can't wait to get back to England.

Stephanie said...

I would love to revisit new orleans. I go to NYC a lot and Ive been to NOLA once-- such a cool city!

Lisa said...

Austin, TX - I've only driven through there, but what I saw made me want to go back and explore the city!1

Christina Gotay said...

We go to NY a lot but have a ton of family so it is always packed with family time. While I love that, I would also love to go on a culinary tour. YUM

Rosie said...

Mmm...I just had a brownie and gelato at Sucre on Friday night but I still haven't tried their macarons. The city I need to revisit is Portland.

Stefany H. said...

I would love to re-visit Nashville. I was there for a work conference a few years ago, but never really got to enjoy the sights. I'm a huge country music fan, so I'd love to go back and experience that aspect of it.

Naomi said...

San Francisco definitely!

Stacey McSweeney said...

Paris. I went when I was 6 years old and have vivid memories...but I so want to experience it again!

Mina said...

Taos, New Mexico! A beautiful place which inspired Ansel Adams and Georgia O’Keeffe. The Sucre macarons share a similar color palette.

Cassie Schissell Barber said...

I'd love to revisit Madrid. If we're only talking domestic then I'd love to revist Portland, ME.

Toni said...

After watching "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" on Netflix (Highly recommended) I would LOVE to go back to Tokyo and find that 10 seat sushi shop in the Ginza subway station. (Reservations needed a year in advance; dinner STARTS at $300/person!; only Michiline 3 star restaurant with only 10 seats and no restroom in the store!) I lived in Japan for 7 years.

blondechicka0321 said...

I would revisit Savannah! I went there for a wedding right after law school, so I was broke. My money was spent walking around with frozen drinks all weekend, instead of enjoying the beautiful city!

parktl said...

I wish I could go back to New Orleans as well. I went the Spring Break after Hurricane Katrina and a lot of the city was still shut down. It'd be great to see it so many years later and experience all it has to offer.

Chris HyeThymeCafe said...

I would definitely want to re-visit Madrid at some point. The first time, I was afraid to spend much $ because it was early in the trip, but noted places I wanted to go back to. Next trip, all the stores were closed for a holiday!! :(

Jessy W said...

I have only been to Seattle and I LOVED it. If I could go anywhere is New York or New Orleans though.

I would love to re-visit San Francisco at some point.

San Francisco

Elizabeth Stoner said...

I have so many cities on my "need to visit" list: Boston, Seattle, and Austin are up there on my US list. There are way too many foreign cities to name.
For my re-visit list, I'd probably put Miami toward the top. I only spent a weekend there a few years ago, and I was mostly focused on spending time at the beach. I'd like to explore the city more on my next visit. Charleston is also at the top of my re-visit list.
Now I really want to book a trip...

Erica Landreth said...

Would love to visit New York again
