I’m so sorry to sound so blunt, but I can’t stand it when macarons are spelt with two O’s. Macaroons stand for an entirely different thing. So the correct spelling for those delightful nibbles you posted above are ‘macarons’. :)

Anyway, love the post, and though I never tried Macarune’s before, I would love to, very much.

when i was tiny i lived on the small mediterranean island of Malta. After church we would stop to buy the wonderfully chewy macaroons being sold at the foot of the church steps. Except for visits back to my homeland i have never found any macaroons to satisfy this early memory. However while googling lavender (my favourite super substance) i came across Danielle's fairy tale creations and want some???

But.... i live in windy england far across the sea! How can i get my hands on them? Would they travel overseas or would Ms Chong be so kind as to share her recipe with me, a fellow macaroon nut, who has taken to baking to mend a broken heart.xx

I read this early yesterday and spent the rest of the day thinking about them. I’m going to have to get some very soon.

I can’t stomach the macroons from “everyone’s favorite boulangerie” – they’re so disappointing that I wish they just wouldn’t sell them at all.

I’m so glad to know about Danielle – not nearly expensive as a flight to Paris!

My taste buds have been fortunate enough to have had the pleasure of experiencing many of Chong’s *delish* creations!! Her macarune’s are nothing short of out-of-this-world, and her many other goodies are just as dreamy! From first hand experience, I must say this *yummy* little business, including owner and all, is sweet through and through!

I've been (digitally) drooling over Danielle's creations for months ever since I discovered her blog. How lucky you are to taste those lovely looking (and I'm sure tasting) macaroons. Her presentation is impeccable, and I'm sure the flavor is as wonderful as the sweets she bakes look.

I think it's pretty clear she will go really far in the world of baking and pastry. And I bet your coverage here is just the start of what will likely be plenty of public praise and recognition.

Now, I just need to find a way to get my hands on some of those coconut cupcakes I spotted on her site not long ago!
