French, Saffron, Curcuma Macarons For Mac Attack 5!


First I would like to wish you all a very happy Mother's Day!  Many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year.  In UK, it is today, March 14, 2010 : the Mothering Sunday Date.  UK holds the prestige of being the first country in the world to celebrate that very special day.

I cannot describe Mother's Day as anything other than SPECIAL and I don't know why I always cry on this Day, which makes my heart feel like crying with sheer joy, delight but I still feel sad and blue because I miss so much my lovely mother who passed away in March, 1998.

Now, it's time to post for March Mactweets Challenge, hosted by Deeba of Passionate about baking
and Jamie of Life's a feast, and this month theme is: “Spring Fling:".  I love Spring so much, maybe because I was born on April.   I love the spring flowers, I mean really really love them.... When I think of spring, I become a yellow-orange Tulip.  Both colours yellow and orange attract me and make me feel cheerful, happy and energized, so I decided to make these saffron macarons.  As a filling, the kids chose white chocolate and marshmallow.  I’m submitting this post to MACTWEETS, a LOVELY BLOG devoted to MACARONS AND ONLY MACARONS.  Please check it out! The round up will be posted on the 20th of March.  It falls on the "Jour du Macaron / Fête de printemps".

For recipe, I always use my usual recipe adapted from La cuisine de Mercotte, the Queen of French Macarons!.

I served those macarons on "Sweet Sesame Meringue"

Fantastic presentation and I love that meringue filling.
Stunning. Love the colour, the smooth, shiny tops on the mac shells and the addition of Saffron and Tumeric! Superb
