I saw this adorable macaron cookbook in Paper Source (a guilty pleasure of mine) and absolutely needed to have it.  I ordered it on Amazon and read it the other night.  It is very detailed, helpful with listed resources and different recipes, flavors, you name it!  And did I mention its adorable?

After reading it, I have decided I am thoroughly intimidated by macarons.  They require great precision and attention.  And many tools that I have yet to acquire.  So I think once I collect my necessary items to create these adorable confections, and perhaps reread this adorable book, I will then fearlessly attempt to make homemade macarons!

I think it may be successful…  Don’t get me wrong, the process is many steps but as a striving perfectionist, these sweet little things and their creation completely attracts me.

And just to clarify.  Cupcakes still have my heart.  And tummy.
