Macaroons are as pretty as they are sweet. I have been looking for years for the perfect ones made here in Nashville with little to no success. FINALLY they have arrived! The Painted Cupcake in Green Hills has started making the most delicious and delightfully beautiful macaroons. Their macaroon baker, Drue Madow, makes them perfectly fluffy with a crisp outer shell and a soft chewy interior (just as it should be). Her flavors change all the time and I still can't decide which is my favorite!

I ordered some pistachio flavored ones a couple of weeks ago as favors for my watercolored themed baby shower and everyone went wild over them. I swear one day I am going to learn how to make them but until then I'll be The Painted Cupcake's best customer.
