I’ve done some cute ones lately. My first one for a baptism, first for a baby shower and a good friend that owns a gyms bday.

Honestly it been awhile since i baked macarons due to busy schedule with the kids and hot weather that i dont baked but crystals recipe never fail. So pretty and full.

Hi all, I love banana things but hate artificial banana flavoring. Currently when I make anything banana it’s always using a recipe I have that you soak very ripe bananas in heavy cream for 24-36 hours to extract the flavor. Then you drain the bananas and use them in something else and use the heavy cream in a white chocolate ganache. It’s like a banana milkshake and absolutely delicious! My question is how does everyone else get real banana flavor without all that? I wanted to do a banana split flavor and i didn’t have any ripe bananas. I have tried Amoretti Artisan banana and LorAnns Banana Cream oil and both taste like banana laffy taffy which is not what I’m going for. Those are usually great flavors but for this one it’s just too artificial. I’d love to know how you get real banana flavor. Pic of a recent hot fudge sundae mac of mine so I don’t get lost.

This set was so much fun! My husband is an architect and he works closely with many local contractors. One of the construction company owners mentioned he had heard about my macarons and how much he loved them. My husband told me and I thought it would be fun to whip him up a treat. All construction theme plus an eagle for our local university that I know he’s a big fan of. This has got to chase away any mid week blues tomorrow.
