The best thing about birthdays? The sweet stuff! Along with a beautiful champagne cake, for my birthday my mom bought
these adorable colored Krabby Patties (as my sister calls them) aka macarons. These are are Ken's Bakery over on 21st.
What struck me about them at first was their size. Supersized in comparison to previous macarons I've encountered. And
since I've only actually tasted macarons once before I didn't really have a basis to compare them to, but I will say that
the cranberry one was delicious. Perfectly light and fluffy. The caramel was pretty good as well, with just a hint of coffee
flavor. The chocolate... not so great. Pretty bland and the filling was hard. If any of you Portlanders know of any other
bakeries that make even better macarons, please do share!
ps. Thanks to everyone for the super sweet birthday wishes! Finally 17!
