Happy Friday! This week I had a really fun and adorable shoot with a friend of mine, Samantha, who happens to bake the most amazing macarons. What’s a macaron? I didn’t even know until recently! Word on the street is that they are the new cupcake. Macarons are a meringue-based little pastry made of egg whites, almond flour, and sugar. They are light and airy, and can be sandwiched together with all kinds of yummy fillings like buttercream, chocolate, or flavored jams. I was googling recipes to learn a little bit more about them, and most sites said something to the effect of them being “a frustrating endeavor for the amateur baker” (aka I will probably never make them on my own). Samantha has clearly mastered the art of these, so I will leave it to the expert :) They are so good, a bunch of us encouraged her to start promoting herself and selling them. Hence the most delicious photoshoot EVER: 

Wouldn’t this be the CUTEST little treat to have at a bridal shower or take away gift at a wedding!?

Loving the bright, pastel colors…

A little behind-the-scenes magic:

If anyone is interested in ordering some of these for an event, for a gift, or just for yourself, let me know! I’ll get you in touch with the master chef!
