Miniatures!

I'm taking a break from cakes for a bit to do miniatures. If I were to open a bakery right now, I think I would specialize in miniatures...everything looks so tasty in miniature! I've found they're somewhat time-consuming, though.

But here are the first set. From the left, friands (almond sponge cake), meringue bubbles (chocolate meringue on a butter cookie), macarons (french cookie with buttercream).

  • Fantastic! Especially the meringue bubbles. Both the butter cookie part and the meringue were perfect. The macarons were a tad salty but really, all of these miniatures are so tasty I can't get enough of them.

    matt says: very interesting cookies. I liked the almond ones the best, although they were all good. I don't think I've ever had these types of cookies before....the textures really add a lot.

  • Meringue bubbles were absolutely phenomenal! I am reallly impressed with this batch. Everything about these cookies screamed gourmet.

  • I really liked the macaroons and the friands. I wasn't quite sure what was going on with the meringue bubbles. I thought the texture of the meringue was strange - but I don't know if that's my personal lack of experience with the cookies or an intrinsic quality.

  • The macarons gave me a nice warm, fluffy feeling inside - I really liked the light airiness.

  • Bubble me baby! I think those were fun - it's kinda like having a party in your mouth. The butter cookies were really good too - though not as exciting as the bubbles. Someone ate all the macarons, but from the comments, they sound good!

  • Only a lone friand remained when I went to sample, but it was wonderfully moist and flavorful. Everything is better in miniature.

  • Yo, the friand I had was excellent - moist and tasty. Les macarons were a close second place.
