25! Woot!

I just Wanna say Thank you to those who are following me.! You guys are AWESOME! I wish I could bake bunch of yummy pastries and feed all of you!! For those who lives in San Diego that's prolly possible..but those who's in Australia and Malaysia..Wait for my home coming! which is err..haven't decided yet! :D You guys make me so Happy! I shall stop this following thing as this can go on forever.. :D I'm not announcing my defeat,but you know what I mean..!

Speaking of happy..Last Saturday there wasn't much for Whitney and me to do..so we decided to make New York Style Crumb cake and second attempt of making French Macaroons ( I haven't make French Macaroons since Culinary School! so I was a little excited!)

Making the New York Style Crumb Cake was easy..I told Marck about it and he was all excited because he's from New York..He was bugging me about making chocolate croissant and Souffle too! but I kept telling him this is not New York! ;p

Anyways...so once we're done with the crumb cake, we started to prep for French Macaroons..I totally forgot how tedious it is to make this little babies..we have to shift the Almond flour 3 times..then have to make them super fine in the food processor..We decided to make Caramel macaroons..once we got all those fining the Almond flour done, we beat the egg whites till frothy then add the sugar and cream of tartar..it looked perfect..! Then as soon as we add the caramel and the vanilla the egg white starts to deflate. So we end up starting with the egg whites all over again..this time we only add the vanilla towards the end..and start folding the dry ingredients in..and baked them for about 30 mins..and it look so cute! we filled them up with caramel buttercream..and its Nummy!

I used to intern for The Opera in Miramesa they have one of the best Macaroons in San Diego (in my opinion..) they have plenty of flavors! and in Beverly hill there's another Macaroons place that I like call Paulette..also plenty of flavors and they are pretty..ALSO (I'm not done yet! hehe..) There's this famous macaroons store in Paris called Ladurée..they have few locations around the world but sadly they don't have it here in the States..but the last time I heard they are opening in New York..so those who are in New York might wanna check the out if they are opening that is!

here are some of websites that has Fabulous Macaroons!
