I almost forgot to share these photos of the gigantic macarons I made for James. He was definitely spoiled with sweets this past Valentine's Day! I made these for him in addition to the
cute chocolates and
homemade kit kats :)
These were the biggest macarons I've ever made; almost 4 inches in diameter! Here they are compared to my regular macarons. (You can see more of the cute little bear ones and how I painted the gold design
here!)
James loved them and it only took one to satisfy his sweet tooth. It has to! It was the size of a small hamburger lol.
I named these humongous macarons MacDaddys! :)

He did! He didn't cook but did take me out to a great restaurant. Dinner was amazing. The dessert was so good!! I had orange blossom beignets (I think I'm obsessed with orange blossom! lol) filled with date-orange caramel with a cardamom anglaise dipping sauce. I want to go back just to have the dessert again!
DeleteI didn't know that about Japan. I think Korea does the same thing. The boys then give the girls gift on White Day or something like that. It's pretty funny because here V-day is pretty much for the ladies hehe.
