Flavor of the Month January 2015

Back in October I sampled chocolate croissants from every patisserie in Quebec City. 

OK, this might be an exaggeration. What I do remember quite vividly was that next to and around the chocolate croissants in the patisseries were these very delicate, colorful confections. January's Flavor of the Month is a nod to this lovely cookie, the macaron.

Just like the cupcake before it, the macaron has become wildly popular. With their characteristic crispy exteriors, melt-in-your-mouth centers, and butter-creamy filling, these meringue-based cookies have been popping up everywhere. They're featured on wedding dessert tables, as tiny treats at bridal teas, and baby shower goodies.

Our own macaron has a subtle vanilla-almond flavor with a hint of sweet buttercream. Available at 15% off through the end of the month, Macaron Lip Balm will also be included in orders placed by our favorite customers, so make sure to select the check box during checkout!
