Macaroons

I have never made Macaroons, so I'm a little nervous to do so.

I really want to try these Parisian Macaroons and these

Coconut Macaroons look scrumptious too!

 

Or how about these French Almond Macaroons

Ummm.....I could get a little carried away! Where do I start?

Do you have any favorite Macaroons?

Gourmet Doughnuts

A new bakery opened up close to where my daughter takes gymnastics, on 12300 S. 177 W. in Draper, Utah. It is a very lovely store called Beyond Glaze. They make the most incredible and wonderful yummies. I mean, doughnuts are tempting enough, but gourmet doughnuts? Come on! Needless to say, they are a must try! I've never seen doughnuts look so beautiful and inviting! Oh, and here are a few of their flavors: Pineapple Tart, Key Lime Crumble, S'more, Blueberry Bliss, Raspberry Mango, Cookies & Cream, and German Chocolate. I can't decide which is my favorite!

The Best Cakes Ever!

So almost every Sunday we go to dinner at my parents and my mom makes a tasty meal. She is an excellent cook and she makes some exceptionally excellent desserts. We just celebrated my sister's birthday and my mom made a White Chocolate cake that was so yummy! She uses this fabulous cookbook called The Cake Mix Doctor by Anne Byrn. May I recommend some of my families favorites? 1. The Perfect Chocolate Cake, 2. My Favorite Birthday Cake (a yellow cake with chocolate frosting), and 3. White on White Cake (white chocolate). These are not just my favorites.....everyone loves these. They are requested all the time. There are many great recipes in this book, and we pretty much enjoy everything she makes. But those are our top three. Bon Appetite!

Eye Candy

These are some of my practice photos of some food photography. Although I have so much to learn about photography..... nothing could make these desserts look bad! Yummo!
