Sable Sweets: Family traditions fuel Indianapolis macaron mastery 

Ashley Hazelwood’s Sable Sweets bakery, founded in 2024, transforms childhood memories into edible artistry. 

“I grew up surrounded by cooks and bakers,” Hazelwood told the Indiana Minority Business Magazine. “Food was the center of our family gatherings. When I sought a creative path, I returned to what I knew — baking is my homage to that love.” 

While her bakery offers classic cookies and pies, Hazelwood’s self-taught macaron mastery has become legendary.

“I picked it up almost immediately,” Hazelwood said of the notoriously finicky French confection.  

Her dedication shows in her creations, achieving the elusive balance of crisp shell and lush filling. 

The bakery’s success stems from Hazelwood’s fusion of nostalgia and innovation. Cases display treats reminiscent of lunchboxes alongside avant-garde offerings of colorful macarons. This duality reflects her philosophy: “Baking connects generations but should still surprise you.” 

From farmers ‘ market to co-op hub, Sable Sweets thrives on human connection. Locals flock for weekend macaron drops and Hazelwood’s service.  

One reviewer notes, “You taste her history in every bite.”
