and finally… we couldn’t eat anymore!
EN – TheMacaronSmackdown. Yesterday the lovely Milla from Little Pieces of Light hosted us at her place to have the annual Macaron Smackdown in order to pick the best macaron place in Paris for 2013. You can read through the detailed explanation and results here on Milla’s Blog. In a nutshell, we were teamed up in two to buy 30 Macarons per team for the competition. The competitors were Pierre Hermé, Carette, Hugor&Victor, Sadaharuh Aoki and Jean-Paul Levin. In the end we came up with 150 Macarons – not to mention how many bottles of Champagne :) And you need a lot of Champagne against all the sugar that settles down slowly in your stomach. For me it was a new experience as I’ve only tried the ones at Ladurée out. Also, I am probably one of the few people that aren’t a big fan of Macarons – despite the pistachio ones. But I wanted to try them all out to make my very last opinion. Last year Carette won and the winner this year is Pierre Hermé, but the Sadaharu Aoki macarons were surprisingly good. If anybody wonder why Ladurée is not in – it came second last last year (edit: it came last and was horrible compared to the others)
Thank you Milla, Edna, Grace, Carin, Stephanie, Malin, Yasmine, Toshi and Greg for the great afternoon!

Gorgeous photos! It was lovely to have you all over yesterday. And just to note – Ladurée came absolutely LAST last year. :) When compared with everyone else, it was actually terrible!
Hope your week is off to a great start.

Ohhh all these macarons are so gorgeous! I’ve actually been planning to make macarons myself but I haven’t decided on a flavor yet.
Which one was your personal favorite?
I would definitely go to Carette and buy some Pistachio and Rasperry ones… those were my highlight. Also Suduharo Aoiki was really good!
