macarons

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

I like that Easter is the one time of the year where macho dudes feel it's okay to embrace pink. Of course I wish this would happen all year round, baby steps. I'm willing to bet you could get a high pitched squee out of pretty much anyone with bunny shaped macarons though.

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

Kitty you don't mind if I dunk you quickly into my tea, do you? Oh thank you! It's nice and warm, like a hot tub!
