| - In observance of Macaron Day 2012 (http://jourdumacaron.com/ or http://macarondaynyc.com/index.html , catch up, Vegas!), I would like to compose a love letter to my favorite macaron (and patisserie) in town. Jean Phillipe Patisserie at the Bellagio is the first place that attracted me to Las Vegas. The Rose Macaron in the dessert case had caught my attention ever since my first visit, but it was a number of trips before I actually ever tried it. The selection of tasty treats--gelatos, danishes, crepes, chocolate confections-- can be overwhelming!
The Rose Macaron is more dessert than your standard macaron: two perfect, bright pink shells separated by fresh raspberries with a pastry cream filling, garnished with a crystallized rose petal. It's creamy, floral, fruity, and slightly chewy with a bit of crunch all at the same time. My husband could have saved money on an engagement ring by proposing to me with a Rose Macaron in a box from Jean Phillipe Patisserie. (Not recommended if your significant other doesn't LOVE the flavor of rosewater ;)
