My goodness, pictures of these meringue-based confectionery - the French Macaron - are all over internet. There are pictures of macarons in lovely springtime colors ... yellow, pinks, greens, blues...like a rainbow or a painter's palette.
They are photographed stacked, half eaten, next to large cups of coffee, in lovely bakery boxes and lined up like Easter eggs in boulangerie windows. Unlike it's American cousin the coconut macaroon, the French Macaron (French spelling now, let's not get confused) consists of a buttercream, ganache or jam filling sandwiched between two, melt in your mouth, cookies. Yum and yum!

| Okay, these would be my favorites. What girl wouldn't like chocolate macarons? Especially gifted in a sweet Paris tin. |
 |
| Oh my! Macarons have made their way into Mc Cafe .... also know as the French Mc Donalds |
 |
| Laduree must be turning over in his grave ..... |
 |
| And another possible crime against the French Macaron..... just in time for Easter, macaron with the egg cream filling like a Cadbury Egg? |

| Heaven help the French Macaron |
