Vintage Whites Market

If you have been wanting to try a large variety of my macarons, I suggest to come see me at this little/large event next month. I'm really excited (and nervous)! There will be a lot of unique vendors and activities.  It's going to be a blast for reals.

Gold Sprinkles

Macarons are fun because the possibilities are endless with how you can personalize them.  These macarons were wedding favors for a reception that had gold details everywhere. They fit in perfect.

I filled them with Salted Caramel buttercream ( my personal fav).

I also wanted to see what these looked like with a different filling.  I tried a White Chocolate Raspberry Ganache.  Ok - here is the recipe because you've got to try it:

50 ml Whipping cream
100 gm White chocolate
50 gm Pureed Raspberries (mine were frozen but fresh is probably even better)

1. First place pureed Raspberries in a small saucepan.  Place on a medium low burner until they reduce a bit.  This gives you a more condensed flavor and doesn't mess with the consistency of your ganache.  Place the reduced raspberries in the the refrigerator to cool.
2. Chop white chocolate to small pieces and place in bowl.
3. In a saucepan bring the cream to the beginnings of a boil.
4. Dump cream over white chocolate.  It will start melting the chocolate. Stir until a smooth consistency is reached.

5. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate until it thickens into a nice ganache texture. 
6. Uncover ganache and give it a stir and make sure its smooth.  Add the raspberries and stir until incorporated.
7. Depending on the texture you may need to put it back in the refrigerator for a while. Otherwise you are ready to fill your macarons with this delight. 

Holiday Macaron Boxes

 My lifelong struggle (along with every other macaron maker) is getting my macarons consistent in size and texture.  Although they are not perfect, these batches were probably the best I've been able to create. 

This color combo made me so happy. 

 Flavors were: Vanilla Bean ( made with ganache), Dark Chocolate, Gingerbread and Raspberry.

Greaty Gatsby Styling

How pretty is this set up!? My lucky macarons got to be a part of a really lovely stylized photo shoot that used the Great Gatsby as inspiration. Photography by Kimbry Studios and styling by Shayna Sitton.

J. Brooks Jewelry Holiday Party

Pistachio, Salted Caramel, Mango, Raspberry, Chocolate and Gingerbread.  Six flavors to rule them all. These were made for a local jewelry gallery's holiday party ( J. Brooks Jewelers). I love the way each box is different, but together they coordinate perfectly.  

Gingerbread praises

I have been loving these gingerbread macarons.  I've made them for several events and they have been a hit so far.  The filling is an itialian buttercream with molasses, cloves, cinnamon and ginger. Simple enough. I sprinkle cinnamon on them before they bake.  I love breaking up the solid colors with a little texture.
