Secret Macaroon Video


Hello sweetlings, how are you all doing? So, I've got to come clean about something.. I've been sitting on a French macaroon instructional video for several months…! I know, I'm sorry for holding out on all of you. You see, it was my first attempt at an instructional video and it contains many 'cringe' moments! But recently, I was assured by a Youtuber friend of mine that nobody's expecting perfection from a Youtube video as long as the content is good. So after some thinking, I've finally gathered the courage to let this video go live on the blog.. a lot of hard work went into it after all.

This vid was shot at my house in Auckland by some good friends of mine Clinton Chang and Martin Paris. I wrote the song playing in the background, and it's called "This Winter". It is performed by my band Teacups and recorded by another buddy of mine David Parker. If you like it, you may download our record here.

So here's my "Secret Macaron Video" for all of you lovely readers..
Ssshhh...

in 1930, Pierre Desfontaines from Laduree had the crazy idea of 
pairing two meringue cookies together with ganache as filling. 

in 2011, Talita Setyady went to Paris and hit that shit up.


i bought a box of 8 macarons..


 and a rose religieuse..


pastry puffs filled with rose pastry cream and fresh raspberries.
sounds dreamy, but i've always wondered what the inside looks like!


dessert just does not get anymore opulent than this..

i quite like it here
