Maca-What? Macarons!!

Wedding Planning Website -

Bittersweet Macarons

I didnt really assimilate what all a hoopla was about with these small cookies. Mrs Perfume, Miss Turtle, as well as Miss Rainbow all plead their loveliness. But wedding sites keep posting pictures as well as describing their yumminess. So, we proposed craving them. Crazy, right? In all my life, we think Ive probably eaten a single macaron during a Vegas smorgasboard or a small place like that. How do we hunger for something we havent really ever had? All those descriptions tough outer, chewy upon a inside, creamy (Wedding Planning Website) center. we could ambience it. And we had no thought what they tasted like.

I had had sufficient of this drooling as well as dreaming BS. It was time to get me a small of these damn macarons.

I done a special stop upon my way home from work during a single of my all time a a single preferred bakeries in Chicago, Bittersweet. Youve never been we say? Dude, serious? Go already. we get Future Mama-in-Law Hottie a flourless chocolate cake EVERY.SINGLE.YEAR! Shes addicted. Ill admit it for her. ;)

Back to macarons. Look above during a first design again. Yup! we took a design of any single one. Why? Look during them! Pretty right? They are freaking expensive. Why is it which in all those descriptions as well as pictures of macarons, a costly partial never got implanted in my memory?

The small beige ones (almond) as well as chocolate ones cost $16/lb as well as a full of color whim ones cost a whooping $2 each. My jaw about strike a floor. Notice how a price all didnt stop me from shopping any of them as well as walking home. we meant seriously! we done a special trip for these. we was getting me a small macarons. Period. End of story. Upon further research, we came to find which $2 a macaron is essentially not all which expensive. Craziness.

Then it was time to ambience them. we done Mr. Hot Wings take this picture. He laughed during me as well as said we looked as well intense. Oh, come on. Its a $2 macaron! Hell yes Im heated about it. (Can we see my pom creation station sitting next to me?)

Whoa, a thickk cream stuffing proposed oozing out of this almond one. Yummy, though not really my thing. But those full of color pretty ones are freaking awesome! They tasted just how we had imagined. Delicate, savory, not super sweet, as well as chewy upon a inside. Perfect. we get it! And a chocolate ones, oh my. They are filled with a small arrange of ganache we think. Im in heaven. Im a believer!

And which is a story of how we came to sense about a macaron. we am a follower in a $2 macaron.

Are we a follower too? Tell me about your stately macaron stories!
