It is so difficult to keep up with the food trends these days… cupcakes, frozen yogurt, macarons… Just when I’ve mastered one it is suddenly phased out and replaced by something better, cuter, and sweeter. Along with a few other cutesy treats, macarons seem to be all the rave as of late. Thousands of new flavor combinations, colors, and methods pop up every day. I must admit that I am a sucker for these things. I’ve not abandoned team cupcake just yet, but these cute little cookies are so persuasive!

Carly caught the macaron buzz not too long ago and jumped on board! She confesses that she “kind of has a macaron obsession right now. She is so intrigued by their cuteness!” After carefully reading through Dessert Magazine’s macaron tips she made the necessary adjustments and employed their suggested techniques. One of the biggest tips she read was to allow your macs to sit for about an hour to form a nice shell. This will keep them from cracking in the oven.

To test out her newly acquired pastry knowledge she made a batch of white chocolate macarons, and was thoroughly pleased! She chose to make this batch pink, and I couldn’t agree more! These are precious! Carly’s Kitchen has been busy trying out new macaron flavors, so be sure to go by and check out her newest creations.
