Last night was the first snow (in October?!) so I think everyone needs some cheering up. Laduree macaroons are the cutest food I've ever seen and even if the idea of them doesn't cheer you up, I'm not sure what will.
Laduree macaroons are pretty much food celebrities. They contributed to the french chic atmosphere in Marie Antoinette, been featured in many perfume ads such as Juicy Couture & "Pleasures" by Estee Lauder, & have been served at the hottest parties in the fashion world. The reason? First of all, their colors are so delicious looking, you almost want to wear them as jewelery. Laduree macaroons come in so many different fabulous flavours, it would be so hard to pick one! Flavours such as mango jasmine, rose petal, orange blossom, & java ginger influence the color of the macaroon.
Laduree macaroons are based in Paris, and they get their name from the place they're made- Laduree tea salons. The first Laduree salons were established in Paris, but there are now Laduree salons in places like Tokyo & Monaco. Unfourtuneately, there aren't any Laduree shops in North America, but don't cry just yet! If you have some free time this frosty weekend, you can create some of your very own macaroons! The funnest part about making them yourself is that you can create new & funky flavours- be creative! I found a fantastic step-by-step recipe (with photos!) at .

I'll post my pics when I make them :D
Good luck & stay warm!
