My First Macaroons from Laduree

Recently I visited London with my friend Emma and decided to visit the bakery's and sample their products. One shop my friend Emma took me to was a shop in Covent Garden called Laduree. They specialise in Macaroons and to that day I had only heard but never tried them.

I had heard that they were very tasty but also very expensive. When I entered the shop is was so small and quite. Very vintage which I loved.

I looked around and saw a vast range of colours! It was so beautiful I just had to buy some. I even brought them in a beautiful presentation box.

It took so long to try and choose the flavours as there was so much to choose from. I decided on apple, blackcurrant, peach, lemon, pistachio and strawberry.

The flavours were out of this world! The two outer cases were firm bit slightly chewy with a soft and fluffy centre. I couldn't believe that I hadn't ever tried these before. The individual flavours were perfect and precise. My favourite was apple and I wish I had a store closer to me as I would be a regular customer.

Now I am going to try and make my own.........
