blogger edwin approached me to make macarons for his wedding. 80 bags of these in assorted flavors of macha, rose, cafe, caramel fleur de sel & feuillitine chocolate and i was extremely satisfied with how they look. he provided the stickers and i think they blended in really well with the macarons and the cream ribbons. for a moment i was kinda worried when edwin said he would provide the stickers. what if they were cartoonish & in neon colors? guess my worries were unfounded :p

i am one lucky girl. i so am. barely two weeks into trying macarons from pierre hermé tokyo which the gf vickii so generously shared them with me, i received a msg in my facebook inbox from another gf, daphne. she went on her honeymoon to europe and got me macarons from pierre hermé paris and some from ladurée as well! i tell ya, ecstasy is an understatement. when she told me she got me a 12-pc box, i literally went over the moon!

vanilla bean yogurt panna cotta, mango gelee, mango mousse, mango coulis & torched mango cubes - a prelude to making more complex and multi-component desserts. after months of making just macarons, i'm beginning to miss french patisserie.
