...pink goddess macarons

...goddess of love

~Venus~

timeless beauty

these are the results of my first try at macarons...

a delightful sweet confectionery

I wanted my first ones to be

PINK!

so I gathered these pretty pink supplies

~

* cherry pink powder dye

* sparkly edible pink glitter

* metallic pink dragees

and whipped up the batter! 

traditionally,

macarons are smooth on top

but

 these are Venus inspired

so...I call these,

pink goddess macarons!

~

here is a just piped,  

single pink macaron

waiting for a shell to form before baking ~

and to give it a good foot...

this is how it looks baked

this is a side view

see the foot?!

next comes the filling...

mmmmm...

lemon raspberry ~

now we sandwich them together and

TADA!!

pretty pink venus macarons!!!

I have never tasted a macaron before...

these were my first

and they

were

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

!!!!

I am already gathering supplies for another try

hhhmmmmm

maybe black raspberry...

or maybe

limon margarita...

what do YOU think they should be? 

but for now...

I am savouring

every

last

...coming up for air

~ Hello dear ones ~

...today I'm packing up my cookie cupboard ~

I call it that because of all the pretty little things that are contained inside!

wonderous things like ~

fairy molds from the UK

pink dragees (pretty little pink metallic sugar balls)

gumpaste lace presses

and candy jewels

hhhmmmmm

this gets me thinking about one of my other passions

sugar art...

it is all so very fascinating to me

I simply must get back to it...

HA!

I'll just squeeze that in before dinner!!!

but no,

really 

I think you might enjoy some of these wonderous creations

maybe at our new space/studio

I will be inspired....

just maybe:)

until next time

...

when I come up for air ~

big squeezes!!!
