Step 1: The Inquiry
Begin your journey by sharing your vision. If you are looking for a classic statement, you may order a custom macaron tower here. For large-scale installations or entirely bespoke designs, please use our contact form to start the conversation.
Step 2: Design & Consultation
Once your date is secured with a deposit, we dive into the creative details. We’ll host a consultation to define the "soul" of your dessert experience—determining guest count and display style while exploring elevated customizations. From hand-painted gold leaf and delicate floral accents to curated display rentals, we’ll dial in every detail to ensure a completely bespoke result.
Step 3: The Tasting
You’ll be invited to our Santa Barbara kitchen to experience your custom flavors firsthand. This is the moment to finalize your color matches and approve any final additions before we move into production. Note: The final balance is due at the conclusion of your tasting.
Step 4: Meticulous Production
Every Rêve macaron is handmade with precision. We honor the rigorous principles of traditional French pâtisserie—using only the highest quality ingredients and meticulous technique—to ensure every shell is a masterpiece of texture.

The Rêve Standard:
Quality Without Compromise
The Ingredients
We source only the finest—from organic California citrus to real vanilla bean and premium Du Barry chocolate. Because a macaron is only as good as the raw materials it’s built from.
The Personal Touch
Julie and her team personally oversee every stage—from the first email to the final on-site adjustment across Montecito, Los Angeles, Santa Ynez and the Greater Southern California area. Our goal isn't just to deliver a product, but to provide an unwavering standard of service and reliability.
The Mastery
Our process is a labor of love. Every macaron is hand-piped and aged to achieve that signature "French snap" and meltingly soft interior.
Meet the Chef
While Julie Hutton spent her weekends growing up in Bordeaux, France, baking alongside her mother, it was her enduring sweet tooth that led her to discover the uncompromising, perfection-demanding challenge of the French macaron. This luxurious, delicate French pastry requires not only precision, but also a profound respect for the craft. Julie has carried her commitment to excellence through her self-taught baking journey, fusing her worlds — the rigorous technique of French baking and the discerning taste of Southern California — into the iconic centerpiece that is a macaron tower. Rêve Patisserie’s macarons are more than a dessert — they’re edible art. More than Julie’s meticulous execution, what Rêve is really known for is her ability to create a bespoke addition to your event experience, in Santa Barbara and beyond.
