Tasty Tuesday {Bright Delights}

I was lucky enough to spend a birthday in Paris a few years ago. Granted it was in November so it was drizzly, cold and slate grey but absolutely brilliant. We spent our time holed up in cafes drinking cappuccino and window shopping in the tourist-free streets.

That's how we discovered the little alley market that sold flowers, cheese, baguette and the most feather light and rainbow-colored macarons that you've ever seen.

That's why I'm loving Sparkles Kitchen's gorgeous macarons - the super delicious color palette is right in line with my commitment to color this summer.

I've never attempted homemade macroons myself, but I may get brave!
