Have you ever tasted Macaroons?
I’ve been curious to taste them ever since I read the memoir, Paris, My Sweet. The author described all sort of French pastries in a way that made me feel I wouldn’t have a life until I had tasted at least ONE macaroon. 😉
So last week I went scrounging downtown Seattle (where I live), for Le Panier, the only French bakery in town I was aware of. I wanted to buy all sort of French breads, but refrained myself from spending too much. So I only bought three macaroons. A raspberry and hazelnut ones for me, and a coffee one for Boyfriend.
Unfortunately, I found I didn’t quite like the raspberry one. I found it too sweet. The hazelnut was alright though. It’s very sad, considering how excited I was to taste them!
But they’re still pretty to look at ! 😀
Hope you enjoyed all the pretty shots. Have a lovely weekend, dolls!

Macarons are quite sweet and I like to eat them now and then. But, most of all, I LOVE to look at them 🙂
Exactly…I love looking at them too!
Unfortunately I’m not a great fan of macarrons, they are a bit too sweet for me… 😦 which I do regret because as you said they look so nice and are so pretty, I mean all those colors just open up you appetite! But there are also so many other nice french patisseries to taste too!! 😉 x
Exactly! I felt they were BEYOND sweet. lol BUT… french bread always makes my day 😀
Hmmm, lovely baguette! 🙂 If you get the chance and if you like chocolate, try a few chocolate patisseries, there are pleeeenty of nice ones! Hmmmm yummy! 😉 x
YES YES YES I LOVE MACARONS AND OH MY GOD I WANT THEM AND COFFEE RIGHT NOW!!!!!
You silly… 😉
They are great, I’ve only just tried them. I hope to try more of them. Some were good and others not so much. I hope you get to try them sometime xx
Hello, love! 🙂 Well, I did try them, but they were a bit too sweet for me. 😉 But the colors are lovely!!
