macarons

Though not as cool and refreshing as an actual ice cream cone, these macarons are probably the most sophisticated ice cream cones you can get.

Okay so there are certain parts of the human body I'm not especially keen on eating. But anything for science!

You could paint pretty much anything a pretty color and roll it in sprinkles and I'll be tempted to eat it.

Those tiny macarons studding this cake are like the prettiest, most girly, edible punk spikes. I'd wear a jacket like that.

Ooh, crispy, chewy, a blast of peppermint and a mellow white chocolate sweetness. This is like Christmas in a perfect French package.

I love macarons so much, I might not even notice that gorgeous ring right away!

People have to lean in real close to your ears to see that these are precious macarons. Make sure it's the right people leaning in close.

Cookies that taste like sweet, lovely strawberry milk and a filling like light, creamy cookie dough? Have I been hit by a bus? That's the only explanation for this, I must be in heaven because no one on earth could come up with a cookie this marvelous.

I might be able to handle a Big Mac if it's made itty bitty and crunchy. Sure I like a little grease now and then, but this is the perfect portion size.

Real macarons are so delicate and hard to transport, plus, if you don't eat them they don't exactly stay well-preserved. It's good to have a set of fake, durable display cookies too.

Finally! You can make mini, delicious works of art at home! But could you really bring yourself to eat a macaron that looks like a little bunny head? It's a challenge I'd like to face.

The fastest way to my heart is through the macaron hole.

I've got sugar shock and I haven't even had a bite!

You've gotta love this Australian take on a French classic.

Oh the coffee, oh the sifting, oh what beautiful eggs. I think I have the macaron vapors! Someone quick, run to Laduree and fetch me a salted caramel and a pistachio and I might pull through!
