Cupcakes
by Corrie,
Her
macarons filled with glory,
There’s
nothing to worry,
Though
your waist may be sorry!
What’s sitting in this humble little paper
bag, you ask?
A couple of weeks ago, Miss CC and I picked up these little
goodies (Cupcakes from Corrie) that we had already nicknamed “Big Macs” because
they are bigger than your average delicate macarons. However, what makes these
any different apart from size? The filling is … ice cream.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice
cream! Cliché, I know.

| $6 each |
“What flavours do you want?”
“Oh what a hard choice … I want all!”
“How about we just get all four and share
it between us.”
Well, if you insist Miss CC – I guess I can accommodate. But yes, I was elated with joy!

| Apple Crumble |
We couldn’t wait when we got back home, despite being told to put them straight into the freezer ... we had to eat some! So, we start with the apple
crumble and banoffee pie. The apple crumble
has hints of cinnamon and lovely bites of raisins. Giving you that familiar
apple crumble kick.
 |
| Banoffee Pie |
The banoffee pie would probably be considered
our favourite having the most amount of flavour. The distinctive banana hit is
hard to go amiss.
Yes, let’s get cranking on some study …
concentrate. My mind constantly flowed back to the two lonely and bright macarons
sitting in my freezer waiting to be demolished into my belly!
 |
| Blueberry cheesecake |
But yes, we totally should have been
patient girls and placed the other two in the freezer for at least half an hour
to enjoy. But #noregrets. The blueberry cheesecake macaron is more subtle with their flavours, little bits of blueberry excites the tastebuds.
 |
| Red velvet |
The red velvet as expected gives you the
cream cheese hit, though don’t worry, it’s great that it’s subtle again. But
honestly, I know I said “subtle” for basically all flavours…but you really don’t
want them to have too much as it would defeat the whole macaron experience.
AND BOY, those shells!! I was expecting
them to have lost some texture from being placed in the freezer with ice cream
squeezed between. But the chewy yet
fresh crunch exterior made me squirm in
all ways!
We were content. Well, until we realised we
ate 2 “big macs” each in total…
So Miss Corrie makes these macarons as a
batch and posts on her facebook page that you can put orders through for
collection. So if you’re interested, like the page and watch the space for when
her next batch is in the making!! And as the name suggests, she obviously makes
more than ice cream filled macarons! Just check her page out and see what
awesome goodies her talent-ness creates!
How I wish I had a touch of creativeness and
kitchen-friendly soul like her… #envy
