{MACARONS} breast cancer awareness

{BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH}

macarons

its october! ...yes, yes its halloweeeeen 

{every blogger and crafter's dream come true}

but its also breast cancer awareness month.

i really really wanted to plan a whole party around this theme and share it with you today!

but because of that BOOK THING... i have been super busy.

will you settle for some really cute breast cancer macarons?! 

next year i promise a whole party dedicated to bubbies and pink. k?

aren't they cute?

so here's the deal:

if you are new to macarons i would start here 

with my DIY guide to french macarons.

and be sure to watch the videos - they really help.

i have my own recipe - but the one in this post is a great starting point.

if you are comfortable with macarons, try the next level - dipping them!

for the dipped macarons, be sure your finished macarons have fully chilled in the fridge.

use candy melts and gently dip the macaron to cover just under 1/2 of the cookie.

while still warm, shake sprinkles over top to cover.

place on wax paper in the fridge until set.

if you are really comfortable with macarons - try the ribbon shape!

draw an outline of a ribbon and try piping this shape.

be sure not to drag the tip on the parchment paper - 

keep it vertical and 1/2 in above the parchment. 

and best of all? they tast AMAZING!!!!!!!

if you have no idea what a macaron is - 

you must be new to my blog.

find one and EAT it. 

it will change your life :)
