French Macarons for Mother’s Day?!

i recently opened a store on Etsy selling french macarons. im currently talking to a owner to see if i can sell my macarons at his ‘store’.

anyways, im taking orders for this mother’s day weekend. we do pick-ups or free delivery to anywhere within 20 miles radius of downtown Boston. i cant ship macarons at this moment due to its delicate nature.

however, i havent tasted them yet. porkbelly said they are super good but i cant trust him cuz he wouldnt dare to say its bad if they were.

my wisdom teeth hurt so bad that i can only drink liquids. i even have hard time swallow things :’(

pain killer doesnt even work. after 3 days of pain and suffering, my neck started to hurt, i have a headache on top of my toothache mouth ache, i finally dragged myself to the dentist today and she prescribed me antibiotics. hopefully i can eat soon!!!!

if you would like to make some macarons, there are really billions of recipes and youtube videos out there so there is no need for me to write up another one. i suggest watch a lot videos and do a lot research before u start.

there are a lot of recipes out there with different measurements, so i kinda combined and figured out my own ratios.
so here is what i used:

every 1 g of egg white, you use 1.2 grams almond flour, 2 grams of powder sugar, and 0.5 grams of sugar. 

i guess u do have to do a little math here.

LA burdick has two stores in boston. one in Harvard sq and this one is in back bay. the back bay store just opened not long ago. if you are not familiar with their chocolate, everything is handmade. they import the best ingredients from fance switzerland, and venezuela. they dont use extracts, concentrates, or flavorings. all flavors come directly from their sources.

super rich chocolate cake.

this is actually the first ive had their iced chocolate drink. i got the dark chocolate drink. extremely rich. ive had hot chocolate in the winter, really thick and rich like you are drinking melted chocolate. you’d imagine the white chocolate drink would be super sweet right? no, it’s actually nice and light, like milk.

jus wanna do a quick update on macarons in boston. so besides macaron sweeterie in lexington and LA burdick, there is another place that sells french macarons in bean: argo tea.

argo tea cafe is located in northeastern university snell library. i heard you do need a student ID to get into the library but i could be wrong. so you might need your NEU friend to hook you up.

i got them as a gift from my NEU friend today. how sweet!!! <3

these are a lil bit too sweet for my liking, but i do like the green one a lot!!! i think it’s cantaloupe, never had that flavor before. i like these better than LA burdick, but def cant beat macaron sweeterie in lexington. if lexington is too far, this is a good alternative.

the first bite wasnt bad, then it became wayyyy too sweet and sugary tasting. i had hard time finishing it.

Online Ordered French Macarons from Macaron Cafe New York

pork belly ordered me some macarons from macaron cafe because there arent a lot of places that sell macarons in boston. we have searched a lot of place online and the macaron cafe from new york looks the best and have relatively low shipping rate. the bad thing about ordering food online is the shipping cost since they have to be shipped thru overnight or same day shipping. the shipping cost can be as much as the cost of the food itself or even more.

macaron cafe has a decent selection of flavors. since it’s been a while, i cannot remember what exactly they taste like. i just remember they didnt wow me but they didnt taste bad either.

if you can’t get macarons anywhere else, i’d give this place a try.

fyi, macarons taste the best at room temperature. they need to be refrigerated if you are not eating them. once you get them out of the fridge, wait 15-20 mins so they are at room temperature.

you can order online @

or come visit their New York stores including
625 Madison Ave. Entrance on 59th Street
and 161 West 36th Street between Broadway and 7th

Macarons @ Silva’s Patisserie Vienna, VA

i was craving for some macarons today and trying to get pork belly take me to sweet lobby. he felt lazy and refused to drive me all the way to DC, so we searched for a place thats closer to pork belly’s house. it’s also on our way to our din din at Maple Ave.

but guess what? i found the worst macaron place ever. the macarons were awfullll. omg seriously. first they looked really artificial and excessively colored, but i thought how bad can it be so i bought one of each. they weren’t cheap. almost $2 each. but oh man, they are super bad. super artificial sugary weird tasting.

i also got the mocha brownie thingy. meh it was average. the two chocolate truffles werent good either.

please run away from this place.
