With Valentine's Day a little over a week away, here's a little history lesson on La Petite France's signature dessert that is sure to bring a smile to whoever receives them :)
Macarons originated in France and are a sweet meringue based confection made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond flour and food coloring. It is commonly filled with ganache, buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between a cookie base. Because they are made with almond flour they are perfect for those on gluten-free diets.
Macarons are characterized by a smooth round top and mildly moist, melt in your mouth texture. They come in a variety of flavors and colors and are perfect for any occasion from a special treat for yourself to wedding favors.
Our macarons here at La Petite France have been a hit since they were first introduced and have become our signature item. Our Chef Julien has created some special macarons just in time for Valentine's Day which include a pink heart shaped macaron filled with white chocolate ganache; something we're sure your valentine will love.
Be sure to come to the cafe and taste all the delicious flavors of macarons we have to offer and taste for yourself why there is nothing like a La Petite France macaron!
