What is a macaron?

Macarons (not be be confused with coconut macaroons), are a traditionally French confection comprised of two almond and merengue-based cookies (shells) with any assortment of fillings smooshed between them like a sandwich.

What is a bonbon?

Bonbons (or as I call them Macajohnbons) are basically a sweet composed of a chocolate shell filled with a variety of things like caramels, ganaches, nuts, or fruit jellies. They're also particularly known for having a super shiny decorative exterior due to the tempering of chocolate used in their creation process.

Finally had some time for myself to make some macarons again, I ended up getting some Sakura petal paste a little bit back so I decided to base a macaron flavor on it! It’s a matcha ganache with a bit of a raspberry puree+sakura paste mixture in the middle!

Also trying my hand at some videography now as well for my creations as a fun project to work on for the new year, starting with these ruby ganache and sea buckthorn jelly bonbons! The setup was pretty straightforward, just had a motorized track mount for my camera, hoping to increase in complexity as I move forward!

I ended up getting a new chocolate book for Christmas that I’m super excited about trying out some of the recipes in it and getting more into some bonbon artistry. This one was exciting to me, it’s a ruby chocolate ganache and a sea buckthorn jelly inside a white chocolate shell! I ended up using some powdered sea buckthorn that I got in Norway that I’ve been itching to use

For one of my holiday flavors this year I decided on trying out using pine as an ingredient, and found that citrus flavors pair well with it so I decided on these lemon-pine macarons! I found a pine needle tea that I made a jelly out of, and then made a lemon ganache with some added mugolio (a type of pine cone syrup) for an extra pine layer. Overall I’m really happy with these ones! Hope everyone has an amazing holiday season 🎄

I made some black sesame and apricot macarons! They have a black sesame flavored ganache and a little bit of apricot jam inside. Design-wise I’m happy with the sort of graffiti-style look these ended up with, especially with the pop of orange.

I made some pistachio and rose flavored macarons! I’ve done similar flavors in the past but it’s been one that I’ve wanted to revisit for a while now and I’m pretty satisfied with how these ones turned out. Design-wise it was inspired by a butterfly themed spell in the new Elden Ring DLC that I’ve been absolutely addicted to the past week.

I’ve been absolutely addicted to the Hades II (by @supergiantgames ) early access lately, and was inspired to make some macarons based on one of the currencies in it! These ones are filled with a pomegranate tea ganache, which I thought was fitting for a game series heavily involved with Persephone.

Super happy with these macarons based on Crème de Violette! I’ve been making cocktails with it recently and love how floral it is. The filling is a boozy ganache flavored with lemon, Empress gin, Crème de Violette, and honey!

A little bit late since I made these closer to Thanksgiving, but I was super happy with how these orange and rosemary macarons came out! I was inspired by the flavors being paired in cocktails, and I made both an orange and rosemary ganache and jelly and filled these macarons with them. Had to go for the pop art style look for the pictures as well, it’s definitely one of my favorite styles to date

These honestly might be one of my favorite designs for a macaron I’ve done yet, the beach aesthetic turned out pretty much exactly how I envisioned! The flavor is a sort of tropical punch ganache (pineapple, passionfruit, orange) with a mango-rosemary jelly in the middle!

I’ve been absolutely hooked on the latest Zelda game these past couple weeks, but was able to pull myself away from it just enough to make these macarons inspired by Zonai designs in the game! The flavor is a genmaicha (basically a green tea flavored with toasted rice) ganache and a yuzu curd in the middle!

After a long baking hiatus after doing my PhD defense and moving, I’m finally back at it again! Continuing with my macarons inspired by drag queens, this one was inspired by the amazing promo look of @jimbothedragclown for All Stars 8, the flavor is a strawberry horchata ganache with a sour strawberry preserve dollop! I’m a little rusty still but I’m happy with how it turned out!

I’ve never tried miso caramel before but after seeing it enough times on the great British baking show I was inspired to make it, it turned out pretty great in my opinion!

I decided to make the flavor of these macarons based on one of my go to summer cocktails of late which mixes flavors of elderflower, lemon, and berries. To capture all these together I made a lemon and elderflower ganache which is then filled with a dollop of berry jelly. For a garnish I thought it’d be fun to make and use my own candied lemon peel!

I got a sous vide machine recently and have been absolutely obsessed with it and all the things I can make with it now, one of those being wine poached pears which inspired these macarons. It’s a vanilla bean ganache surrounding a mulled wine jelly made from the excess liquid after poaching pears, to mimic a poached pear and vanilla ice cream!

The season of pumpkin spice is in full swing so for thanksgiving I decided to make these dark chocolate bonbons filled with pumpkin spice cream cheese ganache and salted caramel!

I decided to whip up some blue raspberry macarons! The filling is a blue raspberry ganache that kind of tastes like an ice cream sherbert flavor. I don’t often do ganaches for my fillings since they rarely have the texture I like, but after trying a new recipe I’m honestly in love with how smooth it is so I’ll probably be doing more of them.

I took a couple month hiatus from baking to focus on grad school stuff, but now I’m back at it again and super excited about these blackberry basil macarons!

So I’m still playing around with bonbons, things have gotten pretty busy for me lately working towards my PhD candidacy exam and they’re a bit less of a time sink than macarons are haha. I decided to make some pride bonbons while it’s still the season, they’re a milk chocolate shell with a coffee-marscarpone ganache and a raspberry jelly! I’m still playing around with different decoration techniques but the multitude of colors was pretty fun. I do have some pride macarons that I’m super excited about that I’ll probably have to save to bring out next year though!
