It's a bright spot in my morning email routine. <br /><br />I'm wondering if you'd care to offer some advice for one about to travel en France (The Dordogne) et a Paris this summer. You feature Laduree and Fauchon a lot, but would you care to divulge your personal favorite spot in Paris for obtaining the "worlds best" macaron? I don't care where it is. We're staying in the 5th and are quite able to go anywhere by Metro.<br /><br />I must confess, I don't think I've ever had a macoron, and after seeing your lovely presentations over the past few months, no trip to Paris would be complete without partaking of one. But only one, since I must remain able to fit into my clothes!<br /><br />Thanks again for your newsletter and the "day dream potential" it provides me.<br /><br />With regards,<br /><br />MichaelMichael in Mainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-43146440005164030312010-05-28T04:02:47.861-04:002010-05-28T04:02:47.861-04:00Chère..j'aime tes photos!

Does the frosting that sticks them onto the tower make the mac break if you pull it off? Is the frosting as good as the fillings? Just what does hold the macs on the tower?Jeanette, Mistress of Longearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815875437992974233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-23510762340951593312010-05-27T21:45:05.589-04:002010-05-27T21:45:05.589-04:00LOOKS GREAT!LOOKS GREAT!Rick Tulkahttp://ricktulka.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-13287574683852040402010-05-27T21:36:11.405-04:002010-05-27T21:36:11.405-04:00As a native Californian and a UCDavis graduate, yo...As a native Californian and a UCDavis graduate, your cake watercolors remind me of my favorite artist - Wayne Thiebaud.
