10 Photographs of Macaroons In Honour Of National Macaroon Day That Will Bring Tears to Your Eyes

Don’t you think macarons are some of the prettiest foods around? They come in a rainbow of hues and are so small and dainty that they would make even the most voracious eater nibble on them gracefully. It seems fit then that these beautiful pastries would be honoured with a special day all for themselves. Incidentally, that day is today! Happy national macaron day, fellow food lovers! In honour of macarons, we’ve rounded up some beautiful photos that will have you running toward your kitchen to replicate them. Or, if that attempt is as disastrous as our first few attempts were, allow these photos to motivate you to throw on some clothes and rush to the nearest pastry store.
