so this weekend my brother and my sister in-law decided to come on down and visit us, and yay! for them it was such a gorgeous weekend... sunny, warm and wonderful... now a few years back my sister in-law lived in paris, and she was lucky enough to be surrounded by some really awesome sweet treats, one of which was the macaron... so the last time we got together i promised to make some of these little sweeties for her the next time they came and visited... so i did, cause it doesn't take much convincing for me to bake something... and i've kinda been itching to bake these again for a while... so here they are... i followed the same recipe for the meringue shells as i did last time but i went with a dark chocolate buttercream... and they were fantastic... and not to brag but, i'm pretty happy with myself having such success again with these... only my second time and they look pretty darn good... still have to work on getting them into a uniform little buttons, but so far i'm happy with the outcomes! next time i'm gonna get a little more daring and try these suckers out... 
These look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to make some of these, but I've been afraid - it looks complicated! Yours look beatiful - truly professional looking!
