Somebunny Stop Me

What is it about these crazy macarons? I CAN'T STOP BAKING THEM! I'm completely addicted, and slightly obsessed with coming up with new ideas for my next macaron-baking class at Adriene Rathbun's on Saturday, March 24th. I think there's a few spots left if you'd like to join in on the fun. Please do! Just click here for all the details. 

So far, my list of fun-macarons-I-wanna-demonstrate includes:

Bite-sized Bunnies

Eggcellent Eggs

Little Lambs

Crunchy Carrots

Pastel Posies

Cheeky Chicks

And some clever, seasonal macaron toppers

I'd better stop there. Seems like I'm always trying to share 16 hours worth of ideas in a 3-hour class.

Gobble 'em up! There's plenty.

The entire Denneler family is gathering in Colby for Thanksgiving this year, and I've made tons of cookies for all those turkeys to enjoy - 20 dozen pumpkin spice cookies with brown butter icing and 7 dozen assorted, fall-color macarons.

 

Traveling long distances with desserts is always tricky, but I've figured out a system that works. A few years ago, I bought these clear, plastic party platters at Party City. I use one for the bottom tray and one for a lid. (I just tape the lids on until we reach our destination.) And last night at Jo-Ann's Fabric & Crafts store, I found this plastic storage container with attached lid - perfect for my macarons.

Bea wanted to help frost the pumpkin spice cookies last night. After dotting the first couple with a big glob of brown butter icing, she decided they'd be prettier with smiley faces and random squiggles instead. Gotta love a baker that goes rogue.

Happy Thanksgiving all!
