Vignettes and Macaroons

Saturday was an amazing day! We drove to Ocean Beach to visit Vignettes Antiques.  What a magical place....so much work is put into making the store more special for their 17th Anniversary.
At one of Vignettes's special events Macaroons were served. Not just any Macaroons.....the best in absolute. I have been dreaming of Macaroons and also I had the bright idea to photograph these delicious patisseries.
No Macaroons were served at this last event at Vignettes but believe me the mini red velvet cupcakes, chocolate......and Champagne was tres bon!
Anyway two nights before the event I asked Lori the owner of Vignettes infos on where to purchase the macaroons...she is the sweetest Madame ever! She had two boxes in the freezer and I was able to pick them up at the Soiree.





Please when you get a chance visit:
Opera Patisserie


Ciao for now

  2. looks wonderful, but I've never had a macaroon. I'm definitely lacking in the fabulous food experiences department. Now, I do know a thing or two about red velvet cupcakes!! xo

  3. Hi Rita! I love your macaroni photos! Beautiful. I would like to try your macarons one day. Dare I say I didn't love all the ones in Paris so much? I'm sure yours will be better. :)
