Can we ever have too many Paris macarons? Never.
Does anyone do packaging as well as the Japanese? True Paris"owns" the pastry box industry. But for all-around inventivness the Japanese have been doing it way longer. These informative boxes are from Paris pastry chef Sadaharu Aoki. Regarde. 12 different flavors and all named on top of the box. Who could resist? I was first tempted by these extra-terrestial creations. In fact I bought the strawberry thing on the far left. I walked 5 feet away and heard a plop inside the box. The strawberry had fallen over! I returned it a tout à suite for a box of 12 macarons.
Fauchon makes 'pastry' china. You canhave your macarons and eat them too.

A look inside the box.
This painting looks so civilized. Like I took one bite and then painted the mac. Of course I bought the box of macs with no intention of eating them. Strictly for painting still lifes. But I had to test them out. And after one bite. Well, they were exceptionally small. You could hardly see them they were so small. The truth is I wolfed them down over 2 days. They are very small. My connoissureship went straight out the window.
