Food or Fashion? – Macaron Mask!

This is my first baking project of the year and I wanted it to be something creative and conceptual. I didn’t want to pump out a dozen plain old macarons because I think macarons are one of the most beautiful foods to ever exist and I love the opportunity to showcase them in an artistic way.

The idea behind this macaron mask was to blur the lines between food and fashion. Food can be so beautiful. Throughout time, we’ve been using it as art-like show pieces. Think chocolate fondue fountains, macaron towers, sculpted wedding cakes etc… We already know we can use food as art but can we say that between food and fashion? So macaron mask, “Is it food or is it fashion?”

Happy Baking to You

XoXo,

Mimi

1 week ago by indulgewithmimi Don't you think all dinner guests should bring macarons? Last year wasn't the best year for me and as we quickly approach the ending of another year, I learned that I could be sad but grateful at the same time. I know people often (incorrectly imho) say, "don't be sad, look at all you've got! Be appreciative." But there's absolutely nothing wrong to be hurting and being appreciative at the same time and in time, when you're ready, that sense of gratitude and appreciation will genuinely outweigh the sadness you felt with a grateful heart this year, wishing a Happy…
1 week ago by indulgewithmimi My version of Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Macarons. What I really like about it is that the filling doesn't use super sweet icing sugar and it also includes real pumpkin filling instead of just pumpkin spice. Also, the shells are INFUSED with spices too! Just a very lovely flavourful macaron all around. I hope you'll get a chance to read through my recipe development process for this special Fall themed macaron. All on the blog and btw, I also have a NEW PUMPKIN macaron template for you to download too! XOXO, Mimi . . . . . #pumpkinspicemacarons #pumpkinmacarons #macarons #macaronstagram …
2 weeks ago by indulgewithmimi Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake macarons made without icing sugar, artificial colors and flavors. I'm always just a bit troubled when someone tells me my macarons are too cute too eat. I know it's meant to be a nice compliment but with my new recipes the filling should be the highlight so I thought I'd shoot and present these mac babies in a styling that makes you WANT to bite into them recipe coming soon. what do you think?
