For The Love Of Macarons

This coming Thursday, 20 March is Macaron Day Toronto which celebrates the love of Macaron for a charitable cause. This event was started by the famous macaron maker, Pierre Hermé in Paris, France. This event is now celebrated in several cities around the World including Toronto, New York City, London and Paris. There will be some Patisseries around Toronto participating who will be giving out free macarons to celebrate the day and proceeds from the sale of the macarons will  benefit the Red Door Family Shelter. 

 One of the Patisseries that will participate on Macaron Day and which I recently discovered to my big delight is Butter Avenue. Their popular Earl Grey macaron smells so fragrantly and taste so much like the Earl Grey tea. From the photo above, next time I visit, I will try their Cream Cheese Passion fruit. I enjoy tasting different  flavours of macarons. It is my guilty pleasure. 

 These four flavours here are my favourites too like the chocolate and vanilla with chestnut filling, the Pistachio Wild Cherry, Sea Salt Caramel and the White Chocolate Strawberry. Which one will you choose? 

 Special and pretty Mousse tartes with macarons only from Butter Avenue.
These tartes can be made in Medium and Large to share with others for a special celebration.

I tried the St. Honore with the Lychee Raspberry macarons paired with their Black Emperor Tea which is made with Black Tea and Rose. The tarte was not so sweet as advised by the Sales Associate at Butter Avenue. Paired with my Emperor Tea, I was not drowning in sweetness. But definitely in macaron tarte and tea heaven. 

 The decadent macaron decor at Butter Avenue.  I shall return.
