Chocolate Macarons with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Buttercream

26.10.2009 Baked

I’ve tried to remember the first time I saw a macaron, but honestly, I can’t.  It surely wasn’t until I started writing here, more and more frequently crossing paths with amazing people who bake amazing desserts at home with little or no formal training.  I’d not heard of Pierre Herme, either.  No, I was [...]
