After receiving a book on Macarons for Christmas, I thought it was about time to give it a go!
I went with the basic Vanilla shell and vanilla buttercream filling and was pleasantly surprised with the result! For a macaron virgin, I was expecting nothing short of a disaster, but despite the few mistakes I made, they looked good, tasted amazing and I was given rave reviews by all members of my family, even those who have been lucky enough to sample macarons from such places as the infamous Laduree in Paris.
So trial number one was enormously successful, which can be confirmed by the lack of macarons now sitting in the kitchen... which would be zero!
Love from your guest blogger,

Mmmmm! I love macarons! The first time I had macarons was in Luxembourg in 2006. The store where I bought them had the most beautiful display of macarons in every colour.
Congrats to your favourite child/guest blogger on making a great looking batch of macarons :-)
