If you’ve ever attempted to make macarons at home, chances are you started with the French method. It’s the simpler of the two methods, mostly because the meringue does not have to be cooked.

Each recipe that I tried had its own specific problems, so I decided to come up with my own. I won’t claim that my macaron recipe is the best or foolproof, but it does work...…If you’ve ever attempted to make macarons at home, chances are you started with the French method.

It was just big enough to satisfy our sweet tooth before we headed off on our trip.I made the entire batter for the cake in a measuring cup, and both the cake and the frosting...…A couple of weeks ago, we went to Las Vegas for Aaron’s birthday.
