Ohh shoooo ... it's March... I meant to do so many thing and time just flies !!!
Oh well March is going to be a busy month, as we will be visiting London to meet up with my sis-in-law and a new friend I had met in an animal protection group.
It's good and important for me to meet up with some people who are like minded with me. This makes me feel at least I am not alone in the battle to fight for the animals and it's always good to have thelm around when someday I feel so powerless against all the cruelty we have in the world.
So why am I telling you guys all this? Because I have created the Cat macarons for this challenge and they are my compassion to support a good friend of mine who had recently founded an association to help abandoned cats in Lorraine. They are doing a dinner and classical music night to help raising fund for the Lorraine SPA, the animal shelter in the region. She had asked me if I would like to participate. Unfortunately I have already booked the ticket to London and will not be in France the night of the event. However I made 100 macs in advance and keep them in the freezer and they will be offered for the event. All benefits will go to the association.
I am not including the recipe because they are classic white and black chocolate ganache that I had already posted in the previous posts. If any of you are interested, please kindly let me know and :)
Have a fabulous March !!!
Dear Kim:
ReplyDeleteYour cat macarons are very cute. How did you make the ears for the cats? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Hello Sherry
DeleteI simply scoop out a spoon of the batter in another piping bag with a small dozzle head to make piping the pointy ears easier :)
Eep! So darling! I will have to make my cat pose so that I can appropriate her likeness for more baked goods:)
ReplyDeleteThese couldn't possibly be any cuter and so artistic. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteSo fabulous! They are going to love them at the party.
ReplyDeleteCUTE!!! too cute to eat ^^ I have also been experimenting with macarons.. so far I've made the Hello Kitty-ron, Panda-ron and a fishy-ron :) its quite fun~~ keep up the macaron baking!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love these kitties - what perfection. You may not be there in person but these macaron cuties will more than make up for it! Fabulous. Enjoy your time in London.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind comment :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute. You have done an awesome job. I would really hate to eat such cuties :(
ReplyDeleteSo adorable and cute!!! Very creative cat macs. Meow!
ReplyDeleteJust when I think you've created magic in one round of MacTweets, you pipe another winner! These are drop dead gorgeous Kim, absolutely adorable! Have a wonderful time in London!
ReplyDeletehow can i "Draw' on the macaron shell?
ReplyDeleteis it done after they are baked? before?
what kind of colors do you use?
thank you.
Hey there sorry for the late reply; i reserved a few tablespoons of uncoloured batter in a piping bag with smaller nozzle. Then i colour the rest of the batter and pipe them as usual before adding the white batter. The lines are drawn after the shells are backed. For these macs I used powder colouring
DeleteI am so in awe of these super-cute macarons – they're beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThese have to be the cutest Macarons ever!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING! These are so creative and adorable! Can you share how you did the coloring for the faces? Did you just dollop some uncolored batter in the center of each to create the white part, and use a food marker to draw on each shell?
ReplyDeleteYou have got it right :)
DeleteTo have savoured them, they are just... a delight for eyes and papillae!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim! You missed us in the evening of Tuesday. We were many to want to congratulate the artist!!!
Armonia.
Bonjour Armonia Thank you for your kind comment. It was a shame that I couldn't attent the event :)
DeleteSorry everyone for taking a while to reply. Things are going crazy nuts here since the beginning of March with Nestor having eye infection then had to had it removed just right before we had to leave for London. Thank you for all your kind comments and I look forward to the next Mac Attack
