Forever Searching for Cute Macaron Boxes I have been searching for years to find a suitable box for my character macarons. It’s only in the last little while that macaron boxes for regular round macarons have been easily accessible to the general public while there still seems to be a complete absence of […]
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. Saying goodbye to our beloved Summer season is quite sad. The next nine months will be filled with continuous West Coast rainfall and the start of the […]

Lemon Macarons Made with a Sturdy “Macaron-Friendly” Lemon Curd Center
Cutting Macaron Sweetness One of the most common complaints about macarons is that they are “too sweet”, I am from the camp that you should take macarons as they are. Either you like them or you don’t and forgo manipulating the sugar level in the shells to make it less sweet. Sugar is […]

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. (Read about my Canada150 Afternoon Tea experience here.) I know you’re probably thinking why I didn’t post an accompanying photo of a maple leaf or other well-known images symbolic to the […]
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 […]
