I don’t normally drool over cake shops, but I succumbed here.

Same here. Would rather have a bag of salty crisps than a cake generally. I make exceptions for cake involving chocolate however 😉

For someone who lives in the land of macarons (and Macron…..) it’s a heresy to not ‘fan’ for those stuffed ‘rondelles’ – but I prefer a cold drink at any time (or a hot choc in winter!) – I DO however love your photos! great angles, great DoF

Yum! How much do you think it would cost to ship a few of those to Canada? 😉

Hehe. In temperature-controlled, rigid boxes? Hm. 🤔

So good we were back the next day for “proper food.” Got some wonderfully fresh local walnuts.

For two more months, I work at a patisserie where we have ten types of macarons daily. I’m not a huge fan, as they’re a bit sweet for me, but they’re a big seller. Our salted caramel is awesome. 🙂

They’re definitely not something I could eat often — however tempting the flavours.

I am not a macaron fan – they seem very expensive for what they are! Same goes for overly iced cup cakes. But I do love a food market and your photos 🙂

They are a bit expensive — and very sweet. But every now and then I look at the interesting flavours and succumb. And these ones were huge for the price. Still sweet though so I’m not sure if that makes it better or not. 😂

I like chocolate, but not so keen on sweet stuff now. Although a jelly baby is tempting 🙂

I’m the same — an occasional hit of sugar is plenty. We don’t get good local jelly babies (probably a good thing), and the imported Bassett’s ones are a bit expensive.

You had me at macaron. 😉 These look really good and I wouldn’t have been able to eat only one! 😂 Did I tell you that i want to try to bake them myself in winter? I’m prepared for a disaster but hope they will taste great even if they might look like something out of a horror movie! 😂

😀 I’ve heard they are very challenging to make, but I’m sure they will taste good; the challenge is getting even shape and size. Post photos if you do make them 😀

I’ve read a little about it and it seems what matters most is getting the weights of the ingredients perfect, otherwise it won’t work. I bought a new digital scale so let’s keep our fingers crossed. 😉

I am a total fan of precise measures these days (after years of being totally random with quantities). I try to only use recipes that specify weights, rather than “cups” or “spoonfuls” now.

I’m still in the totally-random phase, especially when I bake bread! 😂 But since they come out fine most of the time, I guess there comes a point where you simply feel how much you need of any ingredient. The macarons though are going to change my approach I think. 😄
