After reading this post on FXcuisine.com I was so inspired by all the pretty pastries that I thought I'd try my hand at French macaroons. As in the incredibly beautiful kind made famous by Ladureé and Pierre Hermé. YES. I AM INSANE. And totally out of my league. I thought I'd try making rose flavoured macaroons, as rose is tasty (in my opinion anyway).
Aged egg-whites.
Triple-sifted, homemade white almond powder.
Made from FREAKIN almonds I had to blanch myself.
Expensive rosewater.
All labouriously combined in such a way as to create a thing of beauty.
What I was expecting:

My back hurts.
Baking sucks.
My legs hurt.
