MoRoCo Chocolat Joins The Celebration Of Mararon Day Toronto In Support Of Local Charity, The Red Door Family Shelter

Online, March 20, 2012 (Newswire.com) - On Tuesday, the 20th of March, 2012, Toronto will hold it's first official Macaron Day and join Paris and New York in marking the grid with the best macaron providers and their complimentary confections. Jour du Macaron started in 2005 by renowned French pastry chef, Pierre Herme, and has since become a yearly celebration to raise money for local charities and tantalize taste buds with free macarons.

MoRoCo Chocolat will be welcoming customers to visit its 99 Yorkville Avenue location on March 20th and mention "International Macaron Day" to receive a complimentary macaron. Cookie connoisseurs be forewarned, limited quantities are sure to go fast between 11 a.m. and close. For those who can't stop at one, 25% of any additional macaron purchases will be donated to the Red Door Family Shelter, a non-profit organization in Toronto dedicated to providing shelter for women and children in need.

As one of Toronto's best chocolatiers, MoRoCo Chocolat specializes in a range of premium confections, including truffles, chocolate bars, almond caramel brittle, cocoa caviar and of course, Toronto's best macarons.

Not to be confused with macaroons, macarons are a delicate French confection consisting of two round almond meringue discs and a buttercream or ganache filling. The result is a sweet, airy experience unlike any other. For the sweet tooth seeking the best macaron in Toronto, MoRocO Chocolat offers a range of quality macarons and will even personalize your confection with a custom monogram.

With MoRoCo Chocolat, macaron connoisseurs need not travel to Laduree in Paris to get their Gerbet fix. Best of all, curious customers can try the delicacy on the house during Macaron Day Toronto and have a portion of the proceeds from their macaron purchase go to the Red Door Family Shelter. Talk about having your macaron and eating it too!
