i love love macarons. those real parisian-type sweets...
my faves have just the perfect amount of crispy and chewy with a creamy filling and not overly sweet. mmmmm! this girl is most fond of macarons from laduree (originating in paris with other locations including tokyo and nyc) and miette (san francisco). sycamore street press has a series of pastry-illustrated cards which are adorable and mouth-watering.
