strawberry and cream macarons

Strawberries and cream macaron, I've been intrigued by this flavor combination and how to translate it into a macaron.

frozen s'more

Frozen s'mores takes the classic s'more and turns it into a favorite summer treat. The recipe is from Dominique Ansel's The Secret Recipes cookbook. An ice cream center is covered in a flaky chocolate crust and then encased in a marshmallow shell that is torched. A campfire treat perfectly adapted to beat the summer heat.

lemon meringue tart

Lemon meringue tarts are so refreshing on a hot summer's day. Crunch of the sweet pate sucree shell filled with tart lemon curd topped with a thin layer of lemon Madeleine cake and finished with Swiss meringue, shear delight!

Hot cross buns are an Easter tradition that are typically eaten on Good Friday and mark the end of Lent. The recipe that I use has a brioche bun that is filled with currants and cranberries and topped with a cross of cinnamon and cardamon frosting.

Valentine macaron

Valentine's Day is a time to show your appreciation for those you love. Gift the ones you love a box of homemade macarons. Nothing says "I love you" more than baking for them. Nothing says "Be Mine" better than heart shaped macarons.

birthday cake macarons

Macarons are the perfect treat for my granddaughter's birthday celebration. She loves macarons. Birthday cake macarons are very special and involve incorporating golden butter cake into the macaron shell. Macarons that taste like a moist, fresh birthday cake.

macaron class

Rosewater raspberry macarons were baked using the Italian method. The macaron baking class was a huge success. It was so much fun sharing the joy of baking!

peppermint white chocolate macarons

Peppermint and white chocolate macarons are a Christmas tradition. This flavor combination was suggested by a dear friend last year. Peppermint candy brings a strong refreshing taste that has long been associated with Christmas. White chocolate gives a subtle smooth creamy texture, sweet but not to sweet. This flavor pairing is the perfect combination for a Christmas macaron.
