Breakfast at Tiffany's - Mac Tweets August Challenge

Macarons are just the perfect snack for a breakfast at Tiffany's..... light, easy to eat and you can stuff a bunch of them in one of those little blue bags.

Another bonus no flaking crumbs, or dusty icing sugar to spoil your little black Givenchy dress.

My macarons are supposed to look like a peal necklace falling out of the bags, and I'm not sure I quite captured that effect.

Oh well you get the picture.

They are plain white almond french macarons dusted with pearl luster dust filled with a vanilla bean and white chocolate ganache. Recipe is based on the Pierre Herme one I usually use, click here for the rose version.

Once again this is for the August Mac Tweets challenge which was movie themed.

Musk Stick Macarons - The Three Musketeers post for Mac Tweets

All for one and one for all 

Musk Stick Macarons X 3 = Barbie and the Three Musketeers

I've decided to join a new online baking group. Mac Tweets is an online group of macaron loving peers who set a challenge for each month. It's not a strict make this exact recipe kind of challenge but a theme and this month the challenge was movies.

Wow I had lots of ideas, but I went with this one for a couple of reasons, namely that Barbie and the three muskateers must have been played in this house 50 times in the last month and also I really loved the idea of this edible stick.


Not sure about elsewhere but here in Australia those Wilton cookie sticks cost me $11 for a bag of 20, and then I feel really bad about the wastage when I throw them away after one use.

See my new macaron pop invention is not just yummy but it's also environmentally friendly and economical. Totally a win win situation.
