Macarons

Macarons are the new cupcakes!

In my house, macarons have been the big hit this summer. And we've seen them spreading everywhere. From the famous Laduree to the neighborhood mall. My daughter has been bugging me to try and bake our own. Macarons have a reputation for being very difficult to make, but I'm usually up for a challenge. However, we never got around to it since there was never any time. Until I got sick and everything came to a full stop for a few days. A complete full stop where I did not leave the house for two days. Hardly left the bed... But I did manage to make the macarons with daughter's help. Twice. Practice makes perfect. And they were not that hard to make after all.
