French Macaron Class with Tartelette
Wednesday, March 10, 2010
Tartelette in the house! (Well, at least in Southern California).
Thanks to the efforts of Rachael, Gaby and Jenny, Helene Dujardin (Tartelette) came out to Los Angeles to conduct macaron and food photography classes. Whoo hoo!
Having never made French macarons before (but eaten plenty), this class was great. Who knew aged egg whites, almonds, powdered sugar and granulated sugar could make such pretty treats!
The class was fun because I also got to meet a bunch of food bloggers and catch up with ones I met at BlogHerFood.

lucky you...nice macarons
I am jealous, I will admit it:) Glad you had fun and the macs look perfect!
lucky lucky! gorgeous macarons
Homemade macarons! Amazing! I'm jealous too :-P
Oh these look fantastic!
Little jealous about you getting to take that class! ;) I fell in love with my first taste of macarons in SF at the Food BlogHer conf. And have now had a few since. They are awesome. The class sounds awesome! Sigh.
I wish I could go to that class! I had my first ever attempt at macarons yesterday and it was a complete failure but yours look gorgeous, well done :)
Oh man those macs look great! They are perfect :)
yes!!! This is what I want to learn how to make. Those look so good. I keep hearing that it's really tricky to make too. Nicely done :)
oh that sounds like fun. lucky you.
I am SO glad that you were able to come! It was so nice to finally meet you in person! I hope I don't have to wait as long to see you again. :)
That sounds like so much fun. What kind of filling(s) did you make?
Oops! Never mind. I just read the caption on the photo. They almost look like they are double filled. I bet they are delicious!
Macarons are heavenly & those look perfect!
You're so lucky!!!! Great job on the macarons!
That's so cool that you got to make macarons from the macaron queen herself!! Yeah, put me in with the rest of the jealous group.
I have no idea how I managed to miss this class since I follow her on Google Reader. My first attempt at macarons turned out a right disaster. This could have been really useful!
You've got amazing skills woman!
And it was GREAT seeing you again this weekend.
The class sounds like so much fun! All of the "cool" foodie events seem to take place on the west coast. I live on the wrong side of the country! Your macarons look fabulous - great job!
How fun! And what cute little macarons. I still need to try making them!
Love the natural color that you use in these macarons. Lovely pictures. I bake a lot of macarons and it is really challenging because the consistency is different every single time even if I make it exactly the same way. It can get frustrating sometimes but the results are too yummy to resist.
This is crazy. How have I never tried macaroons? these look great!
