Thank you all for your lovely comments on my earlier post re the wedding cookies i made for my friend. All of you are always so encouraging and kind with your words. Thanks! :D Without further ado, here's the second installment of the wedding cookies..this time round in the form of macarons. Macarons are also cookies correct? Not so sure..but i think so. As my friend's wedding theme is pink, so pink and white macarons (white looking more like champagne color actually) it is.. I hunted for THE cute ribbon for the longest time and managed to find the one that i like but it's sooo expensive...what to do, i needed to have that ribbon to complete the entire look for the macaron-lollipops, so not much of a choice.
Tying the ribbons was hard work..believe me..trying to get those little dots facing the correct way was a pain..i actually took 1 hour just to bag and tie 35 of them! Thankfully only 35 of them in lollipops..the balance 100+ are just normal macarons...*phew*..
I set these up for my amateurish photoshoot..hahaha. I can't decide if i like the dark background better or the white one. So i posted both here. As you can see, my Macdonald's coke glasses are in action again. Sorry folks, i really don't have any vase or nice flower pots or proper glasses at all.. i only have these free coke glasses..and i have a LOT..yup..i spend every weekend at Macdonalds because that is my son's favorite place.
In case you all wondering, i baked the shells before i left for my hols to Japan. I must say macaron freezes very well. Thus, I just spend the whole of last night after work filling them. Otherwise, i don't think i can do all 140+ macarons in just a night...and find time to take photos.. :D
I'm pretty pleased with how my macarons turned out..so sweet and pretty in pink and white. :D The pink ones are strawberry macarons filled with strawberry jelly and buttercream. The white ones are rum and raisin macarons filled with "rum-mish" raisin jam and rum buttercream. Both flavors are the Bride's favorite! :D
Merry Christmas everyone! :D

So pretty!
I echo my previous comment! Jeannette.
They are gorgeous!!!
Faithy! You get my respect once again ... I love your first installment of the wedding favors, too! VERY impressive I must say!
Yes, ain't fun to complete everything in one shot. That'd be too ambitious.
Merry X'mas!
I love the colors and they look perfect, what a great job you did. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
These macarons are awesome and so are those wedding favor cookies! Wow, that's a lot of piping. I think I like the candy wrappers best because they're so whimsical. Great job!!
Faithy, you are amazing! I like the wrapped ones because they are unique. Your choice of ribbon is perfect, very cute. They all look beautiful and I love both pictures (the black background is nice, but the up-close white background ones looks great as well).
Totally gorgeous!
Merry Merry Christmas!
those are beautiful! what recipe did you use for the shells?
I like the black background better. Brings out the colour best!
Merry Xmas faithy!
These are simply gorgeous and I would have loved to have these at my wedding! Beautiful and really beautifully presented! Perfect!

What a great idea!
Maybe I should do this for my brother's wedding.
Love the lollipops! :)
Hi Faithy - your cookies (yes, cookies) look so good. I think your coke glasses are charming :). And my vote is for the dark background, definitely dark - it really makes the colors of your macarons pop.

Thank you all my dear friends!
Katya, i used Pierre Herme's recipe which can be found on Veron's website or David Lebovitz website. :D HTH!
Hi,Thank you for your lovely comments on my cake! Your cake is fantastic.. I have seen this cake design in Debbie Browns book, she does some great books. Yours is identical! Happy New Year!

Just catching up with these, they look absolutely splendid, I hope you are very proud of them. I think we can ditch that moniker "amateur" once and for all now!!
Happy New Year xxx
