Macaron from Frangipane Bakery (Leah Wong)

I have a huge sweet tooth, and not just for cupcakes. One other of my many, many dessert loves is the macaron. A Macaron is the French version of a macaroon – made of egg whites, almond flour and sugar. They are light, sweet and come in a variety of flavours, depending on where you buy them. I first became intrigued with macarons while watching Sophia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. The scenes in this movie are my idea of heaven – desserts and outrageously extravagant outfits enjoyed with tea.  Frangipane Patisserie (215 Madison Ave) is where I found these macarons – they were very yummy and I would highly recommend trying some! I tried raspberry and salted French caramel macarons.
