It's a feast! It's a feast!



I didn't know I'd be happy to see a big assed box filled with Pierre Herme's macarons!


ITS HEAVEN!!

KATHLEEN'S MACARON CRITERIA:

Shell 10/10
It should be smooth and delicate, slightly crispy but not crunchy- fragile like eggshells, it should also be somehow flat and not dome-shaped with no air bubbles nor air pockets. Technically, excessive coloring is a no-no.

Filling & Flavor 10/10
F&F should be smooth, light and distinctly flavorful. It shouldn't be too sweet or sour as well. Melt in the mouth texture is also a plus!

Aesthetics 10/10 
Shape and size of the macaron, feet and filling ratio (some people like thick fillings, some people don't. In my case, I do. Don't you get sad when it's just you know... Flat?)

Value 10/10
We all know that macarons aren't easy to do, (and maybe there are even more guidelines that I've yet to read about) so you're technically paying for the labor of the macaron maker. Accept it, pay, then judge if it was worth the money you paid with.
