French: Ladurée Macarons
A friend recently went to Paris and brought me back some Ladurée macarons. French macarons are one of my faaaaaaave desserts, and these are the macarons of macarons. So I just HAD to do a little photo shoot for these scrumptious bites before, um, scarfing them down.
From left to right, the flavors are:
Chocolate, Coffee, Caramel w/ Salted Butter (fave!!), Blackcurrant (fave #2), Pistachio, Orange, Rose
These were definitely better than any I’ve found in NYC thus far. If only Paris weren’t so far away…
Have you had macarons before? What’s your favorite flavor?
Those look delicious! I've been a hunt for great macarons out in Connecticut, but still no luck.
1Laduree macarons are awesome! I found some good ones here at the Marina Bay Sands too, but there is nothing like eating this classic in Paris!

When I saw the title of your post, I was like, "What?!?!?! New York has a Laduree now? No fair!" I love macarons too. The best ones I've found in SF are at Citizen Cake, though they don't come close to comparing to Laduree's.
3Wowww..you are one lucky girl!!! I just want to reach and grab one or 4:)))
4Oh YUM!!! I want one! You lucky girl!!
5laduree macs are the BEST!! I love their blackberry currant one.
6What a fantastic gift! L.A. Burdick makes some great ones too… if you are looking for some. But, yeah, nothing beats the ones made in France.
7I just got into macarons recently, and I am dying to try Laduree.
8Yum! I'm a sucker from Raspberry. The caramel with salted butter sounds uh-mazing!!!
9my obsession over macarons has grown recently and i picked up some from bottega louie in LA over the weekend. i've been wanting to try ones from laduree! so glad you did a little photo shoot with yours, it's a feast for the eyes
10Caramel with salted butter?! Swoon.
11You know I'm all over these!
12When I went to NYC in January I knew I had to stop and find a place to buy macarons at…and they were a treat! I just love the colors of them too! So sweet of her to bring you these from Paris! Yum!
13Funny you posted this!! I just had a macaron from Bisous Ciao yesterday, highly highly recommend them

17OMG, these look amazing!
18i know laduree macarons are lovely, but i have to say, what really impressed me about this post were your awesome pictures!
19Great so see people spelling macarons the right way. And gorgeous pics for a great treat! Laduree's macarons have flat shells which I tend to prefer over the "swollen" type more common in the US.
20Macarons win over cupcakes!
Oh so pretty! I have never had a macaron before, but I want to try one (a good one) – caramel with salted butter please!!!
21These look wonderful.Will French macaroons be the new cupcake?
