Parisian Macarons

MACARONS. I LOVE them.
I don't even know where to begin.

The pictures speak for themselves. ENJOY.

Ladurée
75, avenue des Champs-Elysées, 75008

16, rue Royale, 75008




flavors (from left to right): salted caramel MY FAVORITE, pistachio, coconut, chocolate, coffee, red berries, and orange blossom

flavors (from upper left to lower right): rose MY 2nd FAVORITE, bitter chocolate, caramel, coconut, coffe, orange blossom, pistachio, orange bergamot...all in a beautiful little box



Pierre Hermé
4, rue Cambon, 75001

a beautiful display of rows and rows of perfect macarons sprinkled with iridescent powder

flavors (starting from top): jasmine tea, passionfruit milk chocolate, salted caramel, and apricot pistachio...the flavors here are much more inventive than the traditional ones are Laduree



and finally...
Nutella Macarons by Christina

My homemade macarons are nothing like the exquisite light, crumbly, delicate Parisian macarons but there's something about watching the foot of the macarons rise in the oven that is just so satisfying.
