Macaron 8 Chocolate Macaron with Bacon Maple Buttercream. A new approach to the macaron. Inspired by the Vosges Bacon Chocolate Bar. It was delicious, like breakfast when the bacon touches your waffle. Sweet, salty and wonderful!

Macaron 7: Amaretto with Peach Amaretto Buttercream

October 19 Week 7

Macaron 7: Amaretto with Peach Amaretto Buttercream. So I tried a new recipe this week and I am not going to lie, it did not turn out as well as I would have like. I felt like I was a complete failure, then I realized it is only week 7 and I still have 45 weeks left to perfect. What a relief. Now, the inside of the macarons turned out great. Crunchy and chewy,but I never got any feet. I dusted them with a little cinnamon and over all the taste was good, appearance not so great. We will try again next week!

Macaron 6: Little Black Macaron

October 12 Week 6
Macaron 6: Little Black Macaron. Last week I delivered an order of chocolate macarons to Little Black Dress on Cherry Street. I chatted with the ever so delightful owner Kelly for a little and left inspired to make a signature macron for the store. What I came up with this, a chocolate macaron with sea salt sprinkled on top, and for the filling caramel buttercream with caramel drizzled inside and on top. A messy, but oh so delightful macaron. The salt was delicious and actually paired nicely with the chocolate and caramel. Soon to be classic I am sure. Other exciting news is that I am starting an Etsy page just for my macarons. They will never be more than a click away!!!

Macaron 5: Vanilla Bean with Cassis Buttercream

October 5, Week 5

Macaron 5: Vanilla Bean with Cassis Buttercream. So I wanted to make a purple macaron, purple is so pretty in cookie form and I had some black currant puree and I love the macarons that have matching filling so I went for it. These were wonderful, the vanilla was subtle and the buttercream was sweet with a light taste of black currant. I think these are some of the prettiest so far. I know my pictures are not the best, but I think they are getting better!
