The French Macaron

You have no idea how excited I am to share this picture with you! I've tried making these French master pieces before, but with little success, likely was rushing too much (sigh!). However I gave it another shot - after doing some more research on them, watching a few more tutorials, and reading more books!
Et, voila! Regardez-les!
My great uncle - who has taken many French baking classes and is one of my role models in the baking department came to the party I made them for... and approved them - terribly excited!
If you look at them closely you can tell there are still a lot of things I need to work on - and yes I will be experimenting more with these in the flavor department - looking foward to it

Pastries

Croissants - made totally from scratch! Most definitely need to work on it, but turned out not too bad for the first time! Super yummy! Made these pastries for my dear grandmother's 80th birthday - we took her for a shopping trip - so didn't have time to make a cake!
