There seems to be a craze for macaroons (or macarons if you want to be French proper). They’re everywhere, and by everywhere I mean every wedding blog and site features these little colorful cookies on them. Personally, I’m more familiar with that sweet mound of egg white and sugar covered in coconut and occasionally dipped in chocolate. I have yet to try the sister cookie, but the round French version seems to be so popular it’s being integrated into wedding décor all over the place. I have to say as far as edible decorations go they appear to take the cake (or cookie). Apparently, they can be made into a multitude of colors, and regardless if you choose vibrant shades or soft pastels, they always look inviting (for the most part). Bright blue cookies? Why yes, I’m intrigued.
They’re adorable and elegant at the same time. So what keeps me from gravitating toward this latest trend? Like the cupcakes, it feels like this fad is a bit overdone. Some sites suggest the macaroon is trumping the cupcake as it’s not only being incorporated into wedding décor like the now infamous candy buffet table, but macaroons are showing up on wedding cakes, as wedding favors, even place cards. Do people love them that much? Are they that tasty? I may have to sample one the next time I hit up a bakery just so I may fully understand the allure of these delights. Honestly, they are starting to feel overrated to me already. I think I’ll stick to what I know, and love…Mmmm
