    I do know that Dean and Deluca sells them. Some time ago, I found a place that specialized in making them and they were in NY. If I find them I will let you know!

    Would you consider making them, a la Mrs. Perfume?

    Am I the only one who doesn't like them?! I was obsessed with the look of them after seeing them all over Martha Stewart, etc. And so I went to Sucre in New Orleans (famous for their macaroons) and tried them and I thought "ick". They tasted like cardboard and styrofoam to me!

    I've been dying to try them (anything that comes in floral or almond flavors I just love!) but haven't found some place near me yet that makes them and shipping is just too expensive :(

    @texaslawgirl: You didn't have a good macaron, then! They should have a light, but slightly crunchy sweet taste to them.

    Bouchon Bakery had the best ones I've come across yet!

    @ Texas, maybe you got bad ones.  My friend made some and they were delish!  Homemade may be the way to go!

    Wow thanks ladies....I dont think I would make them...not much of a baker or cook! Fiance does the cooking around here! I just show up for dinner! I want to learn though. I put Rachel Ray's 30 min meals on our registry!! I might try that site RoddyBride posted from NYC...thanks Roddie...your wedding is coming soon! Cant wait to see all your black, white and red details come together.

    D.Marie (and Amariem25): I'm no baker. I don't even bake canned biscuits, so believe me when I say you can do it! The recipe requires you try it a couple times to get the hang of it, but please do try it. D. Marie --I understand your apprehension about doing it for your wedding, but if you or anyone else wants to give it a go, the recipe above (thanks for remembering RoddyBride09!) is the one that worked for me!

    Thanks for posting this recipe again, RoddyBride09!  I think I'm going to try these macaroons for a friend's baby shower next month.

    You can thank my fast fingers for finding the link first or I am sure another bride would have posted it for you :)

    Thanks D.Marie! I am super excited to see it all come together too. It can seem like everything is all over the place but they usually come together for me successfully. I guess we will see :)
