For my sister's birthday, she requested macarons instead of birthday cake. A quick internet search and I found Layer Cake Bakery in Irvine. It was a Thursday, and the plaza was packed with high school kids around 11am. Layer Cake Bakery was also filled with kids. Most of them were getting sandwiches for lunch. But I came for their sweets.
There were 7 different flavored macaroon on the day I went. There were Hazelnut buttercream....
Mango buttercream....
Passion Fruit buttercream.... (my favorite!!)
Caramel buttercream....
Pistachio buttercream....
Coconut buttercream....
and Chocolate Ganache.
They even have my absolute favorite dessert of all time, Canelle!
French Macaron (12) ($19.20)
I got a dozen Macarons with all the different flavors. My favorite was the passion fruit. My sister's favorite was coconut. I took some leftover http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com. Dr. P loved it as well. He went back a few days later and got more macarons to bring http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com for me. :-) My sister came down to Orange County to visit a few weeks after, and also made a trip to Layer Cake bakery to get more macarons.
Canelle ($2.25/each)
chewy & caramelly on the outside
Love the canelle! A little crunchy on the top, caramelly on the outside, and soft & chewy on the inside. Best dessert in the whole wide world!
The sweets at Layer Cake Bakery is pricey. It's pretty much about $1 every yummy bite. My sister was really happy with her birthday treats, so I was very happy, too! This was only the beginning of her birthday feasting day!

I love macarons too--I fell in love with them while I was in HK and Tokyo because they seemed to be everywhere.
ReplyDeleteYeah, macarons are all over Asia.
But I rarely see them in the U.S.
Wonderful photos... I have never seen anything like this before---but I admit to staying away from bakeries----I'm fat enough already. They look like little hamburgers!
ReplyDeleteYup, those are sweet little hamburger that taste like they are made in heaven. haha....
If you ever seen them in a bakery, just get one to try.
yummmm... 對了!! 我chrismas 前就會搬家了!! ya...不用再看房東的臉色了!!(不過舊房子contract 簽到june 房東說"一定要幫他找人續租" 不然他會繼續收我們房租到六月 你知道這是legal 嗎?? 雖然他自己也登報找人 可是他們有權力這樣"威脅"我們嗎?) 我老公說有 因為我們有合約沒辦法!! 我媽很生氣(她說台灣不可能這樣) 可是我不能說甚麼!! ㄞ!! 只能乖乖的到處打聽找新房客!!>_<
ReplyDelete如果你們簽了合約，就得履行
房東是真的有權利繼續收你們租金，有些房東是會直接罰款，還有比較好的也會就算了
不過還是趕快找到新房客比較保險一點
恭喜找到新屋喔！加油加油
I love french macarons and these look so pretty! I'll have to check this place out next time I'm in Irvine

Try Pascal's Epicerie in Newport Beach if you want really really good macarons! They also have good sandwiches. Mmm...
