I would love to say that it has been rainbows and butterflies, but living abroad and away from friends and family gets really low on tough days. Despite the shortcomings, I’m thankful for having met some lovely, strong-minded people who really look out for us on this side of the world. Our wonderful friends’ daughter turned 2 and we celebrated with another macaron tower this year.
These macarons are flavored with dark chocolate and black sesame, Y’s favorite. Happy birthday Hannah!
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve made macarons. The request was pastel for Hannah’s first birthday. Had to choose foliage to match!
The pink macarons are filled with a mixed berry ganache, green with dark chocolate and green tea, blue with dark chocolate and sea salt.
I love filling macarons with ganache much more than buttercream. It’s rich yet smooth and flavourful.
We had such a blast at Percolate’s Christmas Gift & Bake Sale! We’d like to thank the lovely people at Percolate for inviting us to collaborate with them and making wonderful, deeeeliciuos cups of jo.
We had our favourites (rose & raspberry and the earl grey & lemon) along with our x’mas spread! Christmas is definitely in the air..

Merry (early) Christmas!!
