Macarons, Macarons, Macarons! Seriously what is up with this pretty little treat that is taking the wedding dessert table by storm?! I have yet to try and from what I hear I am really missing out! Which has led me on a mission to figure out what this cookie is really all about!
Apparently, the Macaron is a French delicacy finally making it's big appearance here in the United States. Macarons consist of two parts: an almond-meringue shell and a soft, creamy filling. The shell of a Macaron is delicately crisp, often brightly colored on the outside, and yields to a soft cloudlike texture on the inside. The ‘melt-in-your-mouth’ sensation is carried further by a creamy filling of ganache, buttercream or jam. Quite simply, Macarons are a perfect balance of color, flavour and texture, all encapsulated in a delightful little bite-size package. And I haven't even gotten to the best part, these little beauties are totally gluten-free giving every guest the opportunity to indulge!
So are you sold but not sure how to incorporate Macarons into the big day? Instead of the traditional wedding cake or cupcake stand, why not opt for a Macaron tower! From Macaron dessert table displays to packaged wedding favors, the options are endless!
