Here comes March

Written by

My March edition of French macarons is St. Patrick’s Day themed, of course.

I decided on Irish Coffee for my first flavour profile.

The shells are flavoured with espresso powder. The dam is Dark Chocolate/Irish Cream Ganache. It surrounds a centre of homemade salted caramel.

Finishing touch: Edible Gold Leaf to tip a hat to that famous pot at the end of the rainbow

How did you do the “paint” on those? You are so talented!

  Thank you for that nice compliment, Charla! A food grade paintbrush and edible paints … and then just by guess and by golly as I freehanded them.

  Thank you, Lana! I enjoy gifting them as much as I enjoy making them, and that’s a lot! It’s especially nice to gift them to my friends who are on gluten free diets. 😊

  Actually no, Betty. I’ve made literally thousands of macs since I learned how. I developed the flavours myself and the decorations are influenced by Google Images and Pinterest. Have a great evening!

They look delicious and I love the focus. St. Patrick’s Day was my Dad’s birthday so it was always a big day in our family. 💚

  Of course it would be and it’s a date for you to have so many memories, Anne. I love making themed macs for the various holidays. I have one or two more flavours and designs planned for St Patrick’s Day 😊 Have a fab rest of your day!

Those are pretty enough to be in a pâtisserie window display.

  Thanks! I had a taste test just now after the first 24 hour maturation and I’m very happy with how they’re progressing. Tomorrow this time, they should be at their peak flavour and finished consistency so they’ll be ready for gifting. Have a great day!

  The final taste test is once they’ve matured for 48 hours, Mary. Hopefully, they’ll be good, because they’re for gifts. Enjoy your day!

  Thank you, Suzanne. I love both cooking and baking. Macarons were a challenge to learn, but now that I can do them with confidence, they’re my fave dessert to bake. With a basic recipe and technique, there is no end to the variety you can have. That keeps them interesting. Have a great day!
