| - !!Macaron tasting!!
Got 12 of the 18 available, also a canele.. very dense, moist in middle with crunchy caramelized exterior, an excellent balance between custard and dough.
The macarons are flaky, light, and balanced, at times too confectionary. By preference
1) coffee - starts doughy like phyllo, roast grows softly, warmly, growing but never overpowering, dense
2) Nutella - sweeter than chocolate, doughier in end, more complex
3) maple bacon - maple-bacon conjurs sticky images of 2000 calorie cavities. Not here! Balanced with actual bacon pieces
4) Caramel - more almond than caramel, high cream low sugar decent salt
5) Chocolate - dense but flavorful
6) Honey - not overly sweet, too much cream, light confectionary at finish
7) raspberry - heavy cream dairy overload up until late finish when raspberry bursts with seediness, then falls like a cliff
8) Pistachio - moderate confection up front, pistachio grows mid, dry medium body, moderate density
9) lemon - light density, sherbet heavy brightness mid, low sweetness but lemon inauthentic
10) almond - almond extract flavor, very sweet and synthetic, light
11) earl gray - lighter tea notes amidst confection, very creamy almost lime sherbet-like, less dense = more confectionary
12) white choc Basil - basil heavy, overwhelming, low chocolate/sugar, moderate cream, light
