MACTWEETS: Mac Attack #15 ... A Round-up of MacInspirational

Wednesday, January 19, 2011

January's MacInspirational Challenge was no different than the rest: each and every MacCreation was truly an inspiration! We asked our MacBakers to be inspired, using their macs as part of another dessert creation or turning the dessert world on its head and allowing their favorite non-mac dessert to inspire the little French treat.

The macaron is truly the perfect little backdrop for any flavor combination and a wonderful crispy, sweet and nutty accompaniment to other desserts. This month, our round up is filled favorite desserts decorated or combined with gorgeous macs; cakes, trifles, sundaes, or macarons turned into favorite desserts, inspired in flavor, texture, color. Who says a macaron is just a macaron anymore?

The beginning of a new year, 2011, finds our MacKitchen filled with the same joy and boundless energy as last year, and the macarons just seem to keep getting better and better! Beautiful macs standing on stunning, perfect little feet, amazing colors and an array of flavors that just keeps getting more creative and inventive. So let yourself be inspired and come along for the MacRide! Join in the fun and creativity and bake along with us on our next challenge!
