Move over cupcakes

With the cupcake craze that had taken over with its beautifully decorated toppings to theme any occasion, it seems like there’s now a new kid on the block. The French have moved in, with their vibrant colours and delectable fillings that seem a mystery before every first bite. We have well and truly welcomed macarons to the scene and it seems we can’t get enough! It’s not hard to track down these beauties in the streets of Melbourne with competition growing fierce however, I have developed a few favourite macaron destinations and can’t manage to steer away.

First on my list is the Lindt Café ‘Delice’ Collection, with their generous fillings it’s hard to deny that these colourful treasures are packed with flavour. Salt Caramel is definitely a favourite of mine with the ganache filling melting in your mouth! They also like to mix it up with their seasonal flavours including another Summer favourite of mine – passionfruit.

 

Another macaron destination that tops my list is LittleFeat. These handmade delights offer quite unique flavours including Green Tea and Tim Tam Tease. As hard as it is to choose a favourite flavour from this selection I must say I can’t go past Cherry Ripe.

I’d just like to finish off by wishing you all a happy ‘Macaron Day’ as March 20 marks to 7^th annual Jour du Macaron for Pierre Hermé Paris!
