Pink Vanilla Macarons

November 30, 2015 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 7 Comments

Vanilla Macarons by A Spoonful of Sugar

Are you starting to plan your Christmas menu? We are working on our list of Christmas desserts. We love to have a range of sweet treats as part of our dessert buffet and always have some gluten free options available. Macarons are a delicious gluten free treat. Sarah has been perfecting her macrons recently.

Here is a batch that she made this week – Vanilla macarons, coloured a pretty rose pink, and filled with vanilla buttercream. They are so delicious…. A perfect treat to have with a cup of tea.Vanilla Macarons by A Spoonful of Sugar

Sarah uses a basic macaron recipe by Adriano Zumbo which uses the Italian method. You can find the recipe here. The secret to this recipe is that a sugar syrup at the right temperature is incorporated into the egg whites while they are being beaten. This seems to make allteh difference in making perfect macarons.

    Don’t they look delicious!? And such pretty photos too! ( I don’t care if it isn’t crafts! Cooking is a craft, isn’t it? It seems there is an element of science to cooking! )

I had fun sewing this Valentine's inspired Heart C I had fun sewing this Valentine's inspired Heart Clasp Purse using a kit from @zakkaworkshop . I had the perfect heart fabric in my stash.  The kit comes with full sized templates, hardware ( clasp and paper string), and lots of step by step instructions and photos to guide you through the process. It has been a while since I have made a clasp purse but it was fairly straightforward. Check out  other Heart Clasp Purses by following #heartclasppurse and #zakkaworkshop  Perfect Valentine's project.
