it had been an intense week having to make around 500 macarons! as usual, here were some pics i took. flavors as shown here are pistachio, rose, lemon coconut & coffee.










lastly, i had a request for rilakkuma macarons. i haven't made them before so i tried making a batch. they turned out not too bad but i need more practicing. just in case you don't know what/who rilakkuma is, its a japanese san-x bear character which is very popular now. i think its even more popular than hello kitty and its personally one of my favorite characters. i splurged on many of its merchandises like iphone covers, bento box, slippers, earphones and notebooks. by the way, they're not for sale yet.

i now have two huge bowls of leftover yolks, not sure what to do with them :-/
