"MacAttack 4"... the round-up

"Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?"

Frida Kahlo

Love is in the air, Cupids fly here and there, shooting their arrows of love straight into the unsuspecting hearts of bakers everywhere. Valentine's Day, that pinkest of days, that reddest of nights, veils of delicate lace and swags of pale chiffon, silk and satin slide over our skin as we light candles, fill vases with roses and pour the champagne. How to show our love, offer our heart when a bounty of treats tumble from our oven each and every day? To create something truly special, truly spectacular is something we aspire to on this most romantic of holidays. And this month, the passion of Valentine's Day has truly inspired.

Our fabulous Mac Bakers have outdone themselves with creations that leave us breathless, our hearts pounding, and we feel the sudden urge to throw ourselves at their feet and whisper, nay, shout our undying love. Scroll down and peruse this incredible collection of Valentine Macs, better than any ordinary box of chocolates, if you dare, because you are well warned: you, too, once you behold this delectable, fabulous array of Macarons you may very well give in and become a MacPassionate Fool, too.

MAC-A-VALENTINE ... Mac Attack 4

The last challenge brought out huge creativity and fun from all of us Macpassionate bakers. It's been a wonderful beginning to 2010, and we have more and more tweeps joining our blogroll. We are just four attacks down, and have a proud 46 mac-magicians on board, and the excitement continues.

With February here, and all the love in the air, what better theme to call out for but a Valentine Special. Saving all my kisses for you...and macarons too.

Let's see the passion flow, the love being piped into our next Mac Attack...

MAC-A-VALENTINE!

Please have your Mac Attack Post up no later than February 10 '10.
