I
think my mouth just exploded with flavor! I'm not even sure where to start.
I
was very glad to come upon this stand at the Bastille Day street celebration on
July 13th, 2014. In an attempt to try many different macarons from different
bakeries, I walked around buying several from everyone and saving them to savor
at home at my leisure. Okay, that was the back story leading up the wonderful
moment when I opened up my baggy storing the macarons. I opened it up and the
smell of bacon, yes bacon!, filled the air. I know, that's not your first thought
when you hear about macarons. Allow me to explain.
I
ordered 3 flavors: Party Time, Strawberry and Candied Bacon.
Strawberry,
with white chocolate ganache, was a very refreshing flavor. I loved the pink
color inside, revealed after the first bite. The taste of strawberry lingered,
which I enjoyed. It was not overly fruity since it was accompanied by the white
chocolate. Yum!!
Party
Time is salted milk chocolate with dulce de leche. Unfortunately, being
chocolate in the summertime, it did not make it all the way home without getting
a little melty. Therefore, a picture was not included. That being said, it was
such a fun flavor! The French macaron had different color specks throughout the
shell. As for the filling, you taste both flavors equally which was delightful
because it wasn't overly salty or overly sweet. If you love chocolate but
are looking to try something new, this is for you!
Candied
Bacon with maple cream cheese was shockingly delicious! At first bite, it was a
little tricky to eat since there was an actual piece of bacon in it but it was
that perfect mix of salty and sweet. As I was eating it, I had wished I saved
it for breakfast, imagining how good it would be with coffee in the morning. In
fact, I saved half for tomorrow so that I can continue to enjoy it! While the
bacon adds fun and flavor to the macaron, my favorite part was the maple cream
cheese.
I
found these macarons to definitely be a new twist on the classics. They were a
little larger than others which gave me the opportunity to save some and also
share some. I thought that they were a bit less delicate then some other
macarons, but equally as fresh and soft.
Who should go here: Anyone interested in a modern twist on classic French macaron with
a foodie palette!
I'll definitely be stopping by the shop to try: Lemon (my
personal favorite macaron flavor) and Cheetos.
