Made this small cake plus 8 dozen cupcakes for a friend's daughter's baby shower that her sorority was throwing for her. Great theme for a baby shower! The lion cake says "King of the Jungle" on it.

French Macarons
These are french macarons...NOT macaroons (which are those coconut gooey cookies sometimes dipped in chocolate). Macarons are an almond meringue sandwich cookie usually flavored and filled with buttercream, ganache, or jam. I've been seeing them a lot lately and they are starting to be a very trendy pastry to serve at parties. What attracted me to them was the infinite combinations of flavors, fillings and colors you can make. Also, because I had read it's a very complicated and challenging recipe to master (I'm always up for a challenge). This batch is my 3rd attempt at making them (the other 2 just didn't turn out right). I have to say that I think I'm pretty close with this one. I'm trying to master the recipe before a baby shower I have coming up in a month. These are strawberry macarons with strawberry buttercream filling and plain almond (tinted green) with chocolate ganache filling. Stay tuned for more versions of this yummy "gourmet" dessert!
