Description
Rue du Bac, a Saturday in spring. A line snakes out of the pâtisserie, past window displays stacked high with macarons in pistachio, rose, violet and lemon. Inside, a girl of eight presses her face to the glass case, unable to choose. Her father, who has waited twenty minutes already, suggests she pick one of each. Her face lights up as if he has handed her the moon. They eat the first three on a bench in the Square des Missions Étrangères, arguing happily over which flavor wins, crumbs and pastel dust all over their coats.
This macaron tree brings that window display home. Pastel macarons climb a slender cone like ornaments on a Christmas tree, and a separate trinket macaron sits alongside, perfect for lifting off and admiring. It is a joyful present for a baker, a friend just back from Paris, a bride who chose macarons instead of wedding cake, or anyone with a sweet tooth. Set it on a kitchen hutch, a dessert table at a shower, or a dressing table, where its soft colors add instant cheer.
