I have a serious macaron addiction going on! They look so tempting, so tasty and so elegant placed in abundent piles in the bakery. The perfect mix of chewy and slightly crispy. A rainbow of flavors and colors... What isn't to love?
And besides all that they seem to have become an artform in and of themselves when it comes to displaying and photographing them (I can relate to the infatuation).
If anyone has any of the following flavors laying around feel free to send them my way!

i've never had one......shocking, i know!!! i've never seen them for sale around my area so i guess i'll have to learn how to make them.....
ReplyDeleteOh wow, thanks for giving me the macaron craving. I feel a Duchess date coming on.
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor brought me back the most beautiful package from Laduree full of ~macarons~ I was in heaven..ate them all in one night! Truly the most amazing taste.....My daughter-n-law and I tried making them and yikes that is not easy...they say it is extreamly difficult and they are right, we still haven't gotten it perfect.
ReplyDeleteI am with Cindy, I've never had one like these either. I have made coconut chocolate macaroons that are delicious, but not as pretty.
ReplyDeleteThey do make lovely photo subjects.
hugs

I don't know that I have ever had one either. But, the pictures are beautiful! I will try one next time I see some.
ReplyDeleteoh yum. I'm drooling! I love all the colors!
ReplyDeleteCindy, you are not alone. I've never had one either. But they sure look yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love macaroons!
ReplyDeleteI have never had one either. I have seen them so much on other blogs, but have never been anywhere that they sell them. I guess I should try making some to see what all the fuss is about. They do look beautiful when photographed and I imagine that they must taste wonderful too. Love & blessings from NC!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhen you posted your recipie for meringues I HAD to try them... and I've made them at least 3 or 4 times since. Your recipie is so, so easy.

I love macarons, but they are so hard to make! Everytime something goes wrong: cracked, too soft, stuck to the sheet, no feet,too sweet, ughh!
ReplyDeleteI just gave up! for now...
I haven't had one either!! But I want one so badly!! Especially after seeing those photos! That's it, I'm tracking them down!
ReplyDeleteI think a trip to Duchess is in order very, very soon.
ReplyDeleteYUM! They really are just so pretty and delicious. A dangerous combination!!! lol
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna hate you when you post an "ohh I just baked some macaroons" post! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhenever I'm in Paris, these always taunt me. They look so good, but I've never encountered a vegan macaron à Paris. :(
ReplyDeleteyum, i absolutely LOVE them!! i just have to see if i can attempt to make some...there's no retailers close to me that has them =(
ReplyDeleteThose photos are beautiful and yummy! I love macaroons, too. They've been on my list of things I want to make so one of these days I will attempt them. It's early morning and now I am craving one!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I think this didn't post the first time:
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to be in Zurich (Switzerland) this summer where the confiserie "Lindt & Spruengli" sells them under the name "Luxemburgerli". Ahem, "snarf-face" here (that would be me) ate 8 of them in 30 seconds flat. A record. I know.
I too love macaroons! They really are so pretty and taste as good as they look!! Lemon flavour - mmmmmmm!!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to try one, they look really good!
ReplyDeleteYummy yummy yummy! I have a serious macaron addiction too! My grandfather used to make them and I am kicking myself for having never gotten his recipe.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images!
um yummmmm....I didn't realized they came in so many colors!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Karen
My sister bought me my first ones and now I love them too. I think they're fun because not only are they delish but they're so pretty too.
ReplyDeleteI found a bakery in town that sells macarons and tried one for the first time! YUMMO!
ReplyDeleteI love the purple!

Hi Holly, you and your readers might enjoying seeing these really cute soaps made to look like macarons! All handmade and such soft pretty colors. I found them on Etsy and featured them on my blog ProvencePost.com:

So I don't think I'd previously had the pleasure of knowing about such little treats as these (are they the same as what I've heard referred to as 'macaroons'?). But because of the comment from Liz, who pointed out your meringue recipe post (which somehow in my bad blog-following I'd completely missed), I just wanted to say thanks for sharing these delights! I'll have to find some of these to enjoy, because w/ the help of your & Liz's posts on your recipe, I made the meringues this weekend, and they were every bit amazing you promised them to be! I've already consumed them all & now wish I knew how to make some other flavors, too!
ReplyDeleteAnyway thanks for sharing. I think my life's been made just a little sweeter now, Ha :)
