I first learned about the French macarons about a year ago, 
when I was reading lots of cake blogs. 
I read that even years and years ago, half of the world seems to be into them.
My enthusiasm grew and I became very interested in making what appears to be the most popular
 little snack in France or I think even New York. 
I don't want to be left behind. I have to follow this macaron trend.

So I started researching and reading every blog I stumble upon.
As I read more about these things, I am more and more drawn to making them. 
There are so many tutorials and recipes online and I thought...
seem very simple and easy to make...Wrong!
This dessert is so delicate to make.

I must say that I am still discovering the best recipe to stick with...
however, I am quite happy with the latest macarons I made.
I see "Feet" and they're round and smooth - 
Taste wise - it's delish and I haven't even put any filling yet.
But I cannot stop here!
Need to search further, try other recipes and techniques to get that PERFECT result that I am looking for.
So I have to get my "Bake" on!

For now, here are the ones I have done recently.

Look at these cute green ones.

This is the best time of the year to make them.
Great for gifts. I got nice gift boxes at Winners and they are inexpensive.

CHRISTMAS PARTY INVITATION

I was invited to a Potluck Christmas Party yesterday, 
so I decided to create another dessert arrangement of cupcakes and macarons.
I must say that the macarons were gone in a flash!
Got great feedback on the red velvet cupcakes and the french macarons. 
They love the chocolate cupcakes as well but I think I have made too much of this flavor lately.
So I guess it's time to present different cupcake flavors now.

Here are photos of the arrangement I made for the party.

Look at the lovely faces!
The hostess loves me more than ever now. LOL!
