Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Macarons

  That Once-a-Year Pumpkin Project Last year, in my Tipsy Halloween Tea post, I told you about my penchant for jumping (emotionally speaking) directly from Summer to Winter.

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Macarons & My Canada 150 Story

Canada 150 On Canada’s 150th birthday today, I’d like to pay a little tribute to this country which I’m lucky to call my home.

Rainbow Unicorn on Cupcake Macaron & How I Prepare Multiple Colored Batters (Template)

Unicorn macarons are definitely good but unicorns with rainbow horns hanging onto a cupcake topped with cotton candy are GREAT! Ever since I created Tri-color Unicorn Macarons over the holidays, I’ve been thinking of new ways to incorporate this magical creature into my creations.

GIVEAWAY & Strawberry Basil Macarons made with Real Strawberries (Template)

  THE CHALLENGE OF USING REAL STRAWBERRIES On the road of recipe development, there are those recipes which feels somewhat effortless and taste great the very first or second try, and then there are those which make you want to pull your hair out and abandon the project altogether. This recipe definitely belonged to the latter. […]

Savoury Macarons – Rose Cream & Duck Apricot Pâté

Savoury Macarons Ever since I tried Pierre Herme’s fois gras macaron during tea time at the Ritz in Hong Kong, I have wanted to make savoury macarons myself. With so many sweet filling out there, a savoury macaron is one that would really excite the senses. Mind you, there are some people out there who consider offal an […]

Mother’s Day Macaron Flower Bouquet and Brunch in Vancouver’s Revolving Restaurant

Today we celebrated mom’s day way up high in Top of Vancouver Revolving Restaurant. It was a lively get together which included our two moms, my family and hubby’s family.

How to Make Perfect Meringue for Macarons

By popular request, here is a dedicated video and instructions for preparing the meringue in macaron baking. The meringue is perhaps the most important foundation for macarons so it’s important to make it properly. I’d venture to say that most of your macaron problems will come from a poorly prepared meringue. Make sure you are […]

Disco Dust Glitter Panda Bear Macarons at B’s Birthday Party (w/Template)

My bear macarons were invited to be part of the Panda fun at the first birthday party for MurDeFleur’s little princess. It was a fabulous purple, black and white panda themed party styled by ChicFete. It offered me a perfect opportunity to try out some of the new supplies I bought while in Chicago. Disco Dust was an item which was particularly hard […]

Chilliwack Tulips of the Valley Festival – The Prettiest Sight I Ever Did See

It’s a Springtime attraction near Vancouver that you cannot miss, especially if you love flowers and photography. The festival takes place over a 3-5-week period, usually in April, sometimes into […]
