Last weekend, I happened to be in Holt Renfrew (only because I am a sometimes-believer of its therapeutic abilities, and boy, did I need the therapy last weekend!), and ran into (figuratively) a macaron and tea stand setup by Soirette. I had heard of the name while researching macarons in Vancouver, but never visited the store, so this was pretty much fate in my mind. And don't get me wrong, I would never consider myself a macaron connoisseur, nor would I consider the macaron my favourite dessert by any means, but they are cute, tasty and have great texture. Plus, they are very much the "it" treat right now...as a matter of fact, one of the pictures up on Sephora's website features a girl holding a green macaron (my, however did I know that off the top of my head??).
Anyhow, I (somewhat sarcastically) digress. The point being, I could not pass up the chance to try some macarons when I saw the stand. Here is what I purchased:
Chocolat Chocolat, Raspberry, Caramel Fleur de Sel, Passion Fruit, Malibu, & Rocher
