I adore a macaroon. No, not the dense coconut-y sticky sweet macaroon, but more accurately the French macaron. This delightfully light and crispy treat also has the unequivocal advantage of being highly photogenic and finds a natural place in a wedding.

What about forgoing the traditional wedding cake in favor of a tower of macarons:

They’re versatile enough to hold their own as a delectable dessert:

Or you can package them up prettily for your guests to enjoy later:

J’adore!
