a little bit savoury | a whole lot sweet
My friends and I had a favourite movie snack growing up, being popcorn and maltesers. The saltiness from the fresh popcorn combined with the chocolatey goodness that is the malteser is absolutely delicious. Many I have told of this combination have turned their nose up, but I have managed to convert a few along the way.
For my first foray into the macaron world, I thought I would pay homage to this treat by making Popcorn and Malteser Macarons.
The hubby and I moved into our new house the week before Christmas in 2010. On that day, our parents made a reservation for Christmas 2011 to be held at our house. That was fine by us as we both love to cook (needless to say, our house was basically built around our kitchen)
So in the months before Christmas we were working out a menu, and most importantly, what the dessert centrepiece would be.
In February I had the utmost pleasure of making the wedding cake for one of my best friend’s on her wedding day. I have never EVER made a wedding cake before, and given I had only got married myself in October last year, I knew how much pressure there is for it to be perfect (after the annoyance we went through with ours, but that’s another story).
