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! )

Happy February Everyone! Wherever you are in the Happy February Everyone!

Wherever you are in the world, I hope you were able to create your own sunshine today.

This is a throwback photo to 2015 when I made my first ever dresden plate. My technique has improved since then but I still love the colours in this photo. There is something about bright pink and yellow together that makes me happy. Looking forward to the weekend when I get more sewing time.

Please share with me in the comments what sewing techniques you would like to see in my upcoming pattern designs. I love to hear your feedback.
