"MacAttack 6"... the April round-up

THE HOLIDAY WAS YOURS FOR THE TAKING!

"April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom, holiday tables under the trees."

- E. Y. Harburg

Ah, April! In like a lion, out like a lamb and holidays almost every day between. April is coming to a close and we've seen Easter and Passover with their tables laden with food and special holiday treats, but April is a month filled with more than these most famous of holidays. If one looks hard enough, we see special celebrations hiding in and out among the days, Earth Day and National Holidays, special birthdays and celebrations of Spring. We grab what we like, join in the festivities when we feel the pull. And this month, we invited our Mac Passionates to pick an April holiday, any holiday, and let that special event influence their macarons. And what a doozy of a selection our creative bakers came up with! And, once again, a fabulous array of beautiful, perfect, flavorful macs full of imagination. Some followed the more traditional route, others played along with a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, but each and every Mac Creation is just amazing!

Here we proudly present our April Holiday Mac Attack Round Up and offer a peek and a taste to all! Thanks to each and every one of you for baking with us again! Cheers!

And don't forget to stay tuned for an even bigger and better May Mac Attack challenge with a new and exciting theme!

"The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year."
