Les Macarons, and Then Some

September 27th, 2007 @ 2:01 pm by Mrs. Lime

I have a new favorite dessert place. It’s ideal for me because I can pick up some pick-me-ups from Vanilla Bake Shop on my way home after a long day.

The white on white, oh-so-girly interior.

The aesthetics of these treats are so mid-century yet very now at the same time.

If only they’d opened sooner than a few days before my wedding. If only my wedding cake budget had been higher. If only my catering budget had been higher so as to accommodate for a dessert bar filled with icebox treat shots and cupcake minis. If only I could have spent a handful of bucks per favor for a bagful of macarons or other less perishable treats to send home with my guests.

Some treats I’ve inhaled recently, minus the cakes. I only looked at those. Sigh.

Speaking of macaroons, I discovered another shop in town that makes these confections via Daily Candy. I haven’t had a chance to try them yet, but talk about eye candy that [probably] tastes as good as it looks. If you’ve got favor budget to spare, please consider these gems, and don’t forget to invite me. ;)

Were you slightly disappointed with the size/cost ratio at Vanilla? Mr. Lemon and I went back in August and were pretty sad with their non-cupcake offerings. I guess I just expected grandma size portions …. not smaller-than-tiny-for-$3 sizes to even exist at a bake shop.
I enjoyed the decor and the red velvet was ok, but I really considered the spot a Santa Monica fad.
