Trendspotting: Macarons
Ah yes, the macaron. These pretty little French pastries have definitely grown in popularity this year. They are the perfect size for wedding favors and since they’re so colorful (each flavor having it’s own distinct hue), they’re the perfect addition to the ever popular dessert bar.
If you live in Atlanta, there’s a great little French bakery in Marietta where you can get them, or you can try here. You can also order macarons online from Paulette or Mad Mac. If you’re brave enough to try making them yourself, check out this adorable book or find a recipe on Aran’s beautiful blog.
