a “don’t” not a “do”!
Word on the street is they are the cake “de jour”! No longer the cupcake (hurrah) I grant you lovely to look at, some fabulous flavours, but just a bit too much icing to cake ratio for me. No, the new temptation goes by the name of “whoopie pie”.
Don’t be fooled by looks.
I baked this delicious looking, I stress “looking”, cake yesterday when I was finding any diversion possible to avoid my tax return. So with that in mind you would imagine that the simplest of things would have made me happy, but no this cake didn’t do it. In my book this is more “whoopie don’t” than “whoopie do”.
However that diversion proving inadequate it was back to my on going quest to bake perfect macaroons. These are still not quite right but on the way……………

Thank you but they do still need some work, I am afraid my love for macaroons has no forgiveness so nothing short of perfect fails! Harsh I know.
I have found mixed success with nigella lawsons recipe from “domestic goddess” and this link is also worth a read http://notsohumblepie.blogspot.com/2010/04/macarons-101-french-meringue.html
good luck and if you haven’t already been do try to visit Laudree – macaroon Mecca!
