Those Macarons and A Sweet Luscious Weekend


So many of you asked if I made the amazing macarons in the last post. No, I didn't. The mini rose petal macarons, and the lovely beauties below were purchased at our local farmers market.

Get ready to drool . . .

Peanut butter and dark chocolate . . . rich, creamy, and yummy!





Sweet strawberry





Zesty orange citrus


Lemon, orange, and rose petal . . .



These pretty baby donuts were handmade by us.



I have to say it was a sweet weekend.
All sweets were shared with friends. I didn't make an oink of myself!

    I love making macaron, but living here in the Northwest, we hardly ever get enough dry weather to have success. It is green and beautiful, though.

    Do you use a doughnut maker? I've thought about buying one, but have heard mixed reviews.

    Looks soooo delicious, Nancy! I bought the ladies who traveled with us to Paris in November a box of Laduree macarons, and they didn't like them!!! GASP!! We were just talking about macaroon vs. macaron tonight...the ones I buy here are so different...like coconut vs. almond paste. I fear I am not very macaron savvy. [[But I do a mean Macarena :)) ]

    I love sharing dessert with friends. I often invite friends over for dessert night. It's a fun and inexpensive way to entertain.
