Daisies

Here is a little peek at what I have been working on this week. Which ones do you like the best?

I love the sugar covered centers:

But I also love them without the sugar:

The sprinkles didn't turn out looking how I wanted them to. Maybe it is the color...I dunno.

I see one of the missing petals...but where it the other one?? Poor cookie couldn't even make it through a photo shoot....it was just that yummy!!

Macaron Recipes To Try

I am dying to try making Macarons. I have never eaten one before, but they are so adorable! I fall in love every time I see one. So, here is a little collection of Macarons I want to try making someday. Possibly in the very near future (if I can figure out where to buy whole skinned almonds or almond flour).

Edit--3/5/11 11:30 pm--I ate my first Macaron this afternoon...it was awesome! I was a little disappointed that the only one I could find was a pistachio flavored macaron...but it was good great. I was pleasantly surprised that there was a chewy texture. If possible, I am now more intrigued by these cute little cookies than I was before. I am even more excited to make my own now. I have my eggs resting at room temperature and I bought almonds...I should be all set for Experiment Macaron on Monday!! Stay tuned!

Tartelette - Lemon Meringue Macarons

Maybe I need to mention that I currently have 10 ripe lemons on my cupboard waiting to be used in some delicious concoction. So, here we go again...Also this links up to a basic Macaron recipe that is probably a good "go to" macaron recipe. (As if looking at pictures on the internet and reading recipes makes me an expert!!).

Cake Recipes To Try

After spending hours searching blogs for a recipe I saw once but I can't remember where only to not find the recipe again, I decided to make a list of recipes on this blog that I would love to try...complete with pictures...because I am in love with pictures of food. These pictures are not my own. When I make the recipe myself I will add my own pictures and make a special post about the adaptations I would make...if any.
