I must confess that I wish I lived in Paris.
I am a closet "French-Anything" Junkie.
Just take a walk around my house and
gander at my pinterest boards.
I could NOT let French Independence day
go by without a nod to the culture that
makes me swoon and smile on a regular basis.
Not to mention provide the inspiration for
many sweet indulgences.
Say for instance the famous Macaron.
I want to make these soooooo bad, but I am CHICKEN.
I compromised with my baking anxiety
and made one out of fondant
with a sweet little mold I found on etsy.
I love etsy....and paypal....and teacups and sweets...
and big fluffy pink Paris poodles
and saying "Oh La La"
Ask my husband and daughter, I say "Oh La La" a lot.
~~ Oh La La ~~
Happy Bastille Day!

I think you can make those cookies, no problem! xo
If I can make them, YOU can make them! Easier than I expected. Don't you listen to the scary Macaron police!! I love the fondant macaron mold, yours turned out beautifully!!
Cute post!
Hello.
I visited your blog today, and I love your name, Sweetology. You see, I always close my comments with 'Have a sweet day," so your name attracted me. Your blog is so charming, and you have such yummy desserts. Me and my daughters just started a new blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. I have a sweet tooth and love anything chocolate, and I would really enjoy coming back to visit with you, and seeing all your fabulous ideas. Hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day.

Quatorze Juillet....one of my best friend's has a birthday today! Oh la, la! Fun post :)
Perfecto!
Yum! So, are these macarons like meringue or something? What do you fill them with? Never heard of them til now. They look divine!
Looking forward to that teapot/cup coming! I shall be doing a special post featuring it and the sweet notecards I also won from Abby at Little Birdie Blessings! Might have to cheat on the goodies, though, and pick something up from my favorite gourmet bakery - I'll be stopping by there tomorrow!
Joy!
Miss Kathy

Oh La la, Trisha! i wish i lived in Paris too!!! i dont know why i just think paris is the most romantic city on earth!! i love the colorful macaroons they have! but your fondant macaroon is soo cuteeeee, i also love the eiffel tower cookies, you're so talented and good at this! anyway, Happy Bastille day to you too! hehe xx
haha, cute! I am scared of macarons too (although they are on my to do list for this year!)
Ok. So, if you try to make the cookies and they don't work - you won't have lost anything - do it in the spirit of those who charged the Bastille!
You can do it! Never thought of trying myself - I think they look scrumptious! Hope you have a very blessed day!
Kathy

Happy Pink Saturday - your whole blog is yummy looking!
What a darling post! Thanks SO much for your sweet sweet comment at Lark's blog about my guest post...you made me smile today!
love macaroons, love parisian inspired goodness and love your blog post - hope you have a fun pink weekend!
Love these! I am bookmarking this!
P.S. I am having a giveaway on my blog. There are organizational charts and tools for moms and kids! I hope you will enter.
Such a nice post for Paris and France in honor of Bastille Day. Make those delicious macarons and conquer your fear. It's only egg whites. They won't bite, but you can take a bite out of them. ;-) (Bad pun alert!)
Trish, I have an award waiting for you on my blog.
Hi Trisha
You're not afraid to tackle anything, I wish I were this brave with my baking.
Such a cute little pink macaroon, bet your daughter loved them.
Merci for sharing your French side.
Judith
Trish, You are a French Woman at heart, just like "moi". ;) I'm finding there are thousands of us in blogland and I just adore each and every one that I come across. Joined Pink Saturday today for the first in a long time and I'm so glad that I did. I "ADORE" macaroons. There is a French shop in Savannah, GA that makes them and they are DIVINE! Your pink ones look Precious and yummy... Come on over for a visit at my place where I do my best to spread the "Francois" around whenever I can. ~Merci for all the love for France and PINK macaroons today!
I would love to make macarons, too, but I'm intimidated by them. So it was a total delight when my friend Merry surprised me with them at a special tea held at my house, Ashton House. If you're interested, check out my June 16 post. I love your blog. Sounds like we have much in common!
What a sweet idea and lovely post!! Thanks for linking up to Delicately Constructed Fridays!! I appreciate it! And I am a new follower!
Have a great Sunday!

I love macroons. I sure you could make them. You should try. Don't be afraid to try something for the first time. You never know.. they could turn out great. :)
You created a gorgeous little pink macaroon...thank you for introducing me to this darling confection. Vous etes tres gentil. Cherry Kay
Very ooh la la. I made a bunch of French inspired cookies about six weeks ago for Brooke - eiffel towers, poodes, fleur de lis, and words with French expressions - ooh la la was one of them. I was in such a huge time crunch I didn't have time to photograph them. What a bummer! Reading this post suddenly made me remember them with regret...If you can do what you do with cupcakes and other confections - you can make macarons. You will knock it out of the ballpark!
Lisa
Holy Moly.....I think you just set a record with the number of "link ups" you made this post fit....28!!!! :)
I'm here from Pink Saturday and sure hope you had a great one. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE macaroons.....and I have to say, I would adore a pink one!!!
Hope you're keeping cool where you are...it's gonna be near 100 every day this week...it already has been for several days. We're cooking in Missouri!

Salut, Tu aimeras ton blog et le flair français. Bénédictions, Debbie
(no I just use google translate. lo)l
Oh, how beautiful! I too am scared of making macarons but I WILL learn to make them one day -- maybe next year, as I have too many projects in the air at the moment. But wow, your fondant macaron is GORGEOUS!
Love the macaroons, Trish! If anybody can make those, I know you can! Hope you had a lovely Pink Saturday weekend.
Blessings,
Sandi
How elegant! I love those pretty and girly looking cookies :)
I made macarons a few years ago, but without a mold. The shapes weren't perfect, but they still looked good and tasted great! I used jam in the center to lighten up the sweetness. I was so proud I took a photo!
I wish I remembered what recipe I used because I tried making them again last year...and it was a pink blobby disaster! I just started a casual tea blog, and I'd be honored to have people check it out: www.teaboyfriend.blogspot.com Maybe one day I will attempt macarons again. I look forward to the day when you do! I'm glad I found your blog :)
Just had to tell you ... I blogged about making macarons yesterday .. like you, I was nervous about trying them, but they came out perfectly! And if I could do it, goodness knows YOU would knock these out of the ballpark!
