Saturday I made pink lemonade french macarons, which is fancy for lemon macarons with pink food coloring. I have been obsessing about them since our little trip, and I was up for the challenge.
Like they say on Access Hollywood, “What was Britney thinking”…that’s what I kept saying to myself. Geez-Louise, talk about a lot of work. I think for a first try they were good enough. I had mixed reviews (thanks a lot Shaun 
. It was between chocolate and lemon, and I decided to go with lemon because I have been wanting to make Lemon Curd I followed this recipe for the macarons with the help of this conversion chart and this mascarpone substitute.
If I ever do make them again (key word ‘ever’), I will definitely make them a lot smaller…I made these way too big, and I think I will go with chocolate. I am however excited to use all the extra lemon curd, and I was thrilled to find out that you can freeze it too. Yum!
I took them up to my mom’s house that night to join everyone in seeing off my darling cousin Trisha who is headed to Romania for a few months. I was sure glad I did, because we didn’t have nearly enough sugar to go around.
Well, they sure LOOK good! And, as usual, your photos are amazing.
I had a similar experience with a dessert I made for Easter. It took hours and hours of preparation I ended up with 1/3 of it splattered all over me.
They are so pretty and great photo!
they look beautiful! When I’m ready to try these I’m asking you for tips.
They are so pretty!!! However, it’s hard to imagine how they taste just by looking at them. I don’t think I’d ever heard of them before. Your photography is great. Last night my hubby was your bolg and commented on how good your pictures are. If he noticed, they are good!
You never cease to amaze me. They look de-lish!
I am impressed! Do you watch food network? Can I call you Ina? I too love lemon curd, never made it, maybe now I will.
well, they may have been a lot of work, but they look soooo yummy. i have cursed myself from making something out of martha that was WAY too much and wondering why on earth i was doing it. in the end i would always think, at least now i know.
ps. i have a couple yummy recipes that call for lemon curd. i’ll pass them along to you if you’d like.
Oooo those look delish! You could always swing some by here if you are looking for a place to unload them!
YUMMY photos. the lemon is making my mouth water. i’m like pavlov’s dog.
Those look SO good, Kami… is there anything that you can’t do??? *Ü*
they look delish but there sure are a lot of steps in that recipe! yikes! Your such a pro.
I thought they were delicious! I bet the chocolate ones would be good too. Thanks for helping me set up a blog. I hope I can keep it as fun and interesting as yours!
