Hello all,
Well as time dwindles closer to the fourth of July, things at
work start looking a lot red, white & blue!
Today (July 3, 2013) I made Gerber Macaroons, which were dyed red and
blue. They were sandwiched together with
Almond IMBC. So the flavor was pure
almond goodness. I also got to free hand
a couple of stars, a girl and a cat. I
got that idea from something I saw posted on Facebook. The next time I make macaroons, I will try
more shapes. The idea is so cool. Besides, practice makes perfect. Macaroons are so good when they are made
correctly: crunchy outside, slightly chewy center!!!!!! I love petit fours and these are one of my
favorites to make. I get excited about
them like I bakes a cake J

Oh, by the way, you can actually see the macaroon creations at
our sister restaurant, Buffalo’s!!!! They
are on display and for sale!!! They will
be showcased with the red, white and blue cupcakes and my newest dazzler
(inspired from another Facebook post and Google search) bake-sale “pie”
cupcakes. These cupcakes are designed to
look like real pie. I made blueberry,
cherry/strawberry, peach and lemon-lime chess pies!!!!
