Let’s celebrate Macaron Day! On March 20, bakeries around the world will offer special deals on macarons, often with a charitable component.
It’s easy to see how people can be obsessed with macarons. The petite pastry is a delicate sandwich cookie that seems light as air, boasting beautiful colours and exciting flavours. The treat may hail from France, but we have many macaron masters right here in Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»who turn out some absolute gems.
Feed your sweet tooth (and your Instagram feed) at these Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»spots offering specials for Macaron Day 2019.
