exquisite color

Color inspiration comes wherever you find it. If you travel or peruse blogs a lot you will have heard of Laduree. It is an exquisite patisserie that started in Paris in 1862. The look of their shops is very distinctive. Their showpiece is the macaron - a crisp and chewy flavored egg-white cookie with a creamy center - made in a delightful array of colors. I have always been inspired by the unusual combinations and intensities of colors in their macarons. This weekend I was ambling through flickr and came across this stunning photo - taken by La Tartine Gourmande. What a beautiful image carefully composed.

Here is another box of macarons from the Larduree site. Dreamy and inventive color combinations - I love that deep plum tone mixed in with pale green, ochre and pink...
Here are pics from their Berlin an Paris shops - scrumptious - with an old world feel - classic charm.
And if that was not enough - you can also purchase other beautifully packaged items like dragee candies and notebooks...

I once received a box of Laduree macarons for my birthday, sent to me by a friend living in Paris. Even after expedited shipping, they were spectacularly delicious!

So, so beautiful. I think I remember hearing that Sofia Coppola's palette for Marie Antoinette was inspired by Laduree macarons. Yummy.

I am so happy you posted on laduree. I have written about macarons a couple of times and when I speak to people, many times they have not heard of macarons. Thanks for spreading the word on my favourite treat!
