I was working on Pierre Herme’s white truffle macaron from his book ,PH10, yesterday but what resulted was a very weird tasting filling that I could not bring myself to publish here. I was pretty sure I translated the French instructions correctly. The problem I think was in the type of white truffle paste I used – which was more appropriate to be used in pasta dishes than macarons. Oh well, that post just has to wait.
Anyway, to further annotate my spiraling obsession into macaron land, I commissioned some macaron magnets from the talented Kia of Aoi’s Art. She makes 100% calorie free food! I sent her some pictures of my macaron creations and she so cutely turned them into magnets so I wouldn’t be without them in case I had some mishaps in making this finicky cookies.
Anyway, I promise to post some edible food soon!
Those magnets are so cute!
Not only are they calorie free, but they keep for a long time! Looking forward to that white truffle macaroon post – I'm not sure I can picture that …
Calorie-free macarons?! You are a genius!
These magnets are adorable! And totally appropriate for you, since you are the macaron queen
.
Oh how fantastic are those? Love the zero calorie part too. You can't beat that
Ummm, that's an idea… How about a Magnet Thanksgiving dinner?
what a great idea for fridge magnets. you really are the macaron lady.
That is too cool! And I admire your persistence with macarons!
Veron…..this post really caught me off hand…. so funny
! lol!
No way, these look so realistic! How incredible!
Wow, thanks for the link! There are so many other cool food trinkets on Aoi's Art. Great idea with the macarcon magnets too!
When I first saw 'zero-calorie macarons' I went, "HUH?" is THAT possible? They look so real, Veron, and very pretty too ;o)
So adorable! I prefer a bit more calorific content in my macaroons but not in my fridge magnets!
Hi Veronica,
Since your posts about Macarons I'm dying for a try! But almond flour is hard to find in my town, but I won't give up!
Such a cute magnet, Veron – looks good enough to nibble
Now that is a pretty sweet idea and it really is calorie free!
That is fun. You are the macarons queen!
You will be a macaron queen yet!
Those magnets are adorable!
Awww how cute! And they look so real! Hmm.. wonder if she'd make me a "mother ship" cake magnet.. complete with craters? heheee!
Looking forward the white truffle macaron post!
