The Tower



This macaron tower turned out to be an epic project which often frustrated me.  I've done three others, but not as large.  It's finally finished to the best of my ability and going home to the window of a patisserie modeled after a famous one in France.

    Alison, I am never going to start making food. I will never ever catch up with the likes of you :).

    This macaron effel is simply delish!

    I just read that you are weaving the tatami. I really can't wait to see it finished!

    Alison, this is so beautiful!!! When I was in Paris, your miniature looks just like yours. I like your dog too, but, she is not here anymore.

    Peiwen, Malu and Betty, I really appreciate your wonderful comments!!

    Haha, Sans, you must make food! Of everything mini that I've tried, I enjoy making food the most. You have to try it :) The tatami is not looking good, I need to rethink the "loom".

    Kathy, isn't Paris magical? I'm glad you like our sweet Kobe, he's still with us, and is the little king of our house :)

    Casey, this bugger gave me a lot of grief...mind over matter?! But you're right, it's all worth it in the end.

    Thanks so much, ladies!!!!
