Macarons again

I FINISHED!!! I made 200 macarons (400 half macarons) within 4 days and without molds. 200 macarons fit in my palm nicely - it is hard to believe that I spent about 24 hours to make them. I have great plans in my head, and I'm happy that this phase is ready and I can move forward :)
I will come back soon to reveal more!

Macarons, macarons and more macarons

I've been an obsessed macaron fan since I watched the Marie Antoinette - The Journey film. I had waited for long months to taste the first macaron, and repeat this "tasting" anytime I have the opportunity. (I can die happily with the taste of a macaron in my mouth...)
We can debate which is the best, I personally vote the Ladurée macarons. I especially like the salted caramel one.
I tasted many macarons in Hungary, but I didn't find any which was at least half as good as the Ladurée ones.
I plan to make my own miniature patissérie, which will be loaded with macaron creations: towers and topiaries and Ispahans, etc., so here are some mini Ladurée beauties wich will decorate my small patissérie.

It's Time to Start

After 8 long years I decided to start a blog...those who know me know me as Orsi from Hungary.
I met the world of miniatures 9 years ago when I worked in Paris and some months later I started to build my first dollhouse. Later I specialized on miniature food  though I still build roomboxes and dollhouses when I have time to do it and participated on a contest in Hungary between 2006-2009 where my houses won the 1st prize in 3 consecutive years.
I became IGMA Artisan in 2008, got my Craftman with golden diploma degree in 2009 and became IGMA Fellow in 2010.
I will try to write regularly about my newest food items and latest projects. Until that some of my earlier items:

Inn to the Devoted Peasant Girl

my Northern English inn from the 13th century

The kitchen

My IGMA Fellow submission

Ladurée cakes and sweets
