The Mighty French Macarons

Over the last year I've tried several times to make French Macarons...tried and failed! That is until today. :-)  I took the Luscious Fall Macarons class at my local Sur La Table and finally..... success!!! We made Vanilla Macarons with Praline Buttercream, Chocolate Macarons with Pistachio Buttercreme and Cinnamon Macarons with Coffee Buttercreme. Now does that sound DELICIOUS of what??  To answer the question...Yes they were!!  Now the real trick will be to see if I can make these scrumptious little treats on my own..without the talented Chef Katie Torres at Sur La Table. By the way you should check out her FB page at Le Pop Shop. Checkout some of the pictures from the class.

More Piping

Even More Piping


After 8 minutes in the oven we checked to see if they were ready
