Le Macaron! by Keren Lifrak Wedding Planner
Tweet
Here we are, post Valentine's Day... and I though I would mention one of my favorite favors -- for a wedding or just to tell someone you love them this is a super sweet way to do so -- the Macaron! Crispy and fluffy Meringue on the outside and creamy almond paste on the inside. They come in almost any color and flavor you desire. Some have traced its French debut back to the arrival of Catherine de Medici's Italian pastry chefs whom she brought with her in 1533 upon marrying Henry II of France. If you happen to be in Paris you MUST stop at Laduree, one of the most famous patisseries which offeres endless Macaron flavors. In Sarasota, Florida we have our local version at Le Macaron on St Armand's Circle and they do justice to the little ol' Macaron. Delic!!!
Bon appetit... from Keren.
