Macaron Centerpiece

I've really been loving figs lately and decided to throw one in a batch of blueberry macarons.  The result was a blueberry taste with that slight crisp that makes a fig delicious. 

Thus was born the Blueberry Fig Macaron.

Ashley Beyer from Tinge floral was nice enough to contribute her amazing flowers to my set up. 

Flowers and Macarons compliment each other perfeclty, don't you think? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Batch Made in Heaven

The challenging part about macarons is that even if you've made them for years, you still don't exactly know how they are going to turn out. You can do everything the same but still get a flop batch. It is frustrating at times but I think that's the reason I like making them. I am continually learning and trying to fine tune my recipe.  I made these raspberry italian buttercream filled macarons as part of a larger order but I particularly loved the way this batch turned out. The feet are perfectly raised and their domes are round and symmetrical. I love looking at these. 

 

Raspberry Delights

A. I love peach colored things. B. I love Raspberry flavored things. So these were a real home run for me. I did a cream cheese frosting and they almost tasted like a cheesecake.  So delish. 

 

 

 

 

Cream on Cream - Simple and classy

These classy little ladies got to be a part of an anniversary party this week.  An amazing local photographer documented the event and I can't wait to see the results.

 

 

Pom Pom Favors

Every time I saw these platters I had to let out a loud scream.  2 lemon macarons topped with a white puff. I hope they brought the attendees of this wedding as much pure joy as they brought me. 

Golden Details

How elegant are these lovelies? The Bride used these as favors for her beautiful pink wedding as the guests left for evening.  This was my biggest order yet and it was fun watching them come together.  These had almond flavored centers and I can say this is one of my favorite new flavors.
