These orange curd macarons taste extremely great! My hubby came into the kitchen (I was busy washing up after baking) & showed me with both his thumbs up right after he ate one of my black beauties ;)
Give this a try.. you will fall in love with it ;)
I think the heart on the macaron is fast becoming your trademark :) And wow - your shells look better and better - such smooth tops and nice feet! And the orange curd sounds like a fantastic idea!
