Macaroons from The Cupcake Family, Melbourne

The word macaroon was derived from the Italian maccarone. It is  applied to a variety of light, baked confections, described as either small cakes or meringue-like cookies depending on their consistency. The original macaroon was a "small sweet cake consisting largely of ground almonds or coconut.

So the original macaroons looked like cookies actually. However they have since evolved and now look like these colourful, sweet confectionary.

 

These colourful Parisian Macaroons are not easy to make and involves several processes. See recipe here:-

Well, since they are so sweet…my sweetsaddict just had to have them and so voila… a gift from Melbourne. Not so colourful as the ones above, but oh so sweeet and delicious nonetheless!! Diff flavors and still crispy after the long flight!

Due to the difficult process to make these macaroons, you can hardly see them being sold here in Malaysia. I have only seen them sold at Godiva in Pavillion. Fyi they were sold at RM7 per pc and these here from Melbourne were sold at around AUD3each.
