lots & lots of petit fours!

our buffet was a huge success!

i am so very proud of our petit four team.  we dreamed big & accomplished even more.  well done, ladies.

my absolute favorite of our 12 varieties was the coffee french macaroons.  but really all of the macaroons were fabulous.  those little suckers are hard to make just right, but that only brings more joy to a wonderful product. 

& although i sound like i am completely bragging, i truly am humbled by how far we have all come in these 1-week-less-than 6 months.

the french macaroons:
