Domo and the macarons
I visited North Williams Ave. yesterday to pick up a new bag at Queen Bee Creations' store, and I stumbled upon...
I had read and heard about it before, but I hadn't realized where it was. So, we sauntered inside and were immediately infatuated with the gorgeous clear plastic boxes filled to the brim with macarons! The glass case was filled with gorgeous pastries of all shapes and sizes. Caramelized cream puffs, truffle, and opera cake, oh my! Still, none of these confections could take my eyes off of the technicolor macarons!
We got three macarons: Raspberry (not pictured, eaten), Fleur de Sel (salty caramel), and apple pie.
First, the apple pie macaron. This one was delicious, as expected. The light, delicate outer shell was crunchy. As you sink your teeth deeper into it, you get to the filling, which is soft, cool, and sweet. You take your bite, and it is crunchy, chewy, and soft all at the same time. A plethora of texture! The taste of this one, however, was uncanny. It tasted exactly like apple pie! It had the right amount of apple pie spicy-ness, and a true apple taste.
The fleur de sel one was a balance of sweet and salty, like fleur de sel is. You could see the flecks of salt on the outer shell. It was delicious and caramely.
The raspberry one, well...was raspberry-ish and very sweet.
Pix Patisserie's treats are not to be rivaled, and neither is the stylish interior of their bakery. If you're ever of William's Ave., check out this delicious patisserie.
