Lamb has made everything from macaroons shaped like SpongeBob SquarePants and unicorns to those that represent sunflowers and the Mario brothers. 

I love a good challenge," Lamb explained. 

She wasn’t always a baker but became obsessed with macarons five years ago after having one in the mall. 

"I just kept trying to perfect it and didn’t give up," she stated.
