We'd like to say macarons are the new cupcakes, but if you've been reading R29 for more than 15 minutes, you probably already know of our die-hard devotion to these crispy little desserts. Not to be confused with macaroons (which are coconut affairs), a macaron is a French confection with a crunchy, egg-white- and icing-sugar shell and a creamy, ganache-like center. The bite-sized desserts are straight out of Marie Antoinette, evoking a sort of glamour only the French can provide.
Fortunately, you don't have to fly into to Charles De Gaulle to try some real-deal macarons — we've got some stellar options right here in the 305. Check out our top three best bets for some seriously dainty (but still mouthwatering) desserts. For your next watermark event, screw the cupcakes. They're so 2011.
