It started with a request for French Macarons. I baked my trademark flavor, a cinnamon shell filled with honey buttercream.
Under normal circumstances, this would have been enough. But these weren't normal circumstances. These were macarons to take the place of a birthday cake for someone very special. So I whipped up some matcha and rose macarons.
Still not enough. Along came lavender, lemon and orange flower blossom macarons.
When you're celebrating the birthday of someone who puts the needs and desires of everyone else before her own, one flavor isn't enough. Even six flavors isn't enough to say thank you for all you do each day, but at least it's a start.
And in case you're wondering who the birthday girl is, it's the artist who drew the beautiful logo for Le Petit Lapin.
It's my mom's birthday!
