• Les Macarons, and Then Some

  I have a new favorite dessert place.  It’s ideal for me because I can pick up some pick-me-ups from Vanilla Bake Shop on my way home after a long day.

  The white on white, oh-so-girly interior.
  

  The aesthetics of these treats are so mid-century yet very now at the same time.

  If only they’d opened sooner than a few days before my wedding.  If only my wedding cake budget had been higher.  If only my catering budget had been higher so as to accommodate for a dessert bar filled with icebox treat shots and cupcake minis.  If only I could have spent a handful of bucks per favor for a bagful of macarons or other less perishable treats to send home with my guests.

  Some treats I’ve inhaled recently, minus the cakes.  I only looked at those.  Sigh.
  
   
   

  Speaking of macaroons, I discovered another shop in town that makes these confections via Daily Candy.  I haven’t had a chance to try them yet, but talk about eye candy that [probably] tastes as good as it looks. If you’ve got favor budget to spare, please consider these gems, and don’t forget to invite me.
