I am on a quest to bake the PERFECT macarons (on my to do list for way too long ago). This will come as a challenge for me b/c rumor is that following the recipe to a tee is key to successful macarons and I am known for my notorious make up as you go kind of cook. A little here and there, a dash here and there. Yep, that is me.
But before I can get my hands dirty, I need to find a recipe/flavor that I absolutely LOVE. Below is a roundup from my pinterest board, Yummy Morsels of all my options.
I’ve found most of these incredible recipes from Tartelette. A wonderful food blog that promises eye candy, mouth-watering images every single time.
I invite you to FEAST YOUR EYES!
Raspberry mascarpone macarons. LOVING the lollipop idea. via
Chocolate and coffee macarons. via
Cocoa nibs macarons w/ bittersweet espresso ganache. via
Membrillo and mascarpone macarons. via
Blackberry macarons. via
Blueberry sorbet macarons. via
This is a combination that I haven’t seen before.
I am a Tiramisu LOVER (my husband introduced me to this dessert when he used to make it anytime upon my request, that was pre-Zoey era…sigh). I was completely heartbroken (and still mending) when the recipe link to this one was broken. This is one of my absolute FAV.
Blueberry lemon macarons. via
Loving the vibrant color combo.
Violet macarons w/ vanilla bean buttercream. via
OMfreakin’G!! I am also a HUGE buttercream LOVER.
And in the macarons & fashion news, “in honor of Paris Fashion Week, the iconic French pâtisserie Ladurée introduces limited edition Lanvin Loves Ladurée macarons. Eight pink bubble gum-flavored macarons come packaged in a playful box covered with Lanvin creative director Alber Elbaz’s whimsical illustrations.” via
Another noteworthy macarons & fashion news, MOR Lip Macarons ($10) resemble the French pastry in their decadent little tins, but instead of ganache, they contain delicately glossy lip balm. How cool!
Which macaron’s your favorite? I love the tiramisu and violet macarons! Would you dare trying to perfect these tiny yummy morsels as your weekend project?!
Follow me on Pinterest for mouth-watering, saliva dripping inspirations!
There is nothing like la duree’s ! They are fab! 🙂

Yes they are really delicate to make. I find I often have to leave the oven door open so they don’t break. I found a great recipe on allisoneats that works really well for me.

You can make-up the inside filling. It’s only the outside “cookie” bit that is a bit meticulous. Be sure to work with “mature” egg whites or you’ll struggle to get a good macaron crust. I’ll be making a batch Monday or Tuesday so will seperate the egg whites tonight (saturday) and leave them covered in a bowl on the benchtop till then.
Happy Baking!
Cheers,
Laura
