Oh, say can you see?
Next to the puff pastry Napoleons
Those fresh raspberries
Kissing 
The Whipped Cream?The rose petal,shedding a tear
Oooh!The fork is near!
RasberriesHugging each other ever tighter.
The meringueBlushing ever brighter.
Stop!There are voices.
Singing!
Start spreadin' the news I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoesAre longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up,In a city that never sleeps
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
These little town blues,Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there,I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York ... New York

That Little Brave Rose Macaron
did make a brand new start of it!
It made it big,
from Kohlmarkt in Vienna,
all the way to the top!
She became a famous artist's model
in the city of her dreams.
See for yourself,
over at Carol's Paris Breakfasts.

Her little town blues.

An exquisite little tale, I have never seen such delightful pastries as the ones you find.
ReplyDeleteThose raspberries look so tasty. Beautiful photos as always....
ReplyDeleteJust loved this raspberry & NYC-flavored post! Those rosy maracoons are driving me crazy...I feel very hungry now--LOL! Happy Day ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteENFIN!
ReplyDeleteI'm up and running though PB will have a tough race with these gorgeous critters already at the finish line...
Did you actually get to eat it?
How was it???
You managed to leave a comment! :))
ReplyDeleteYea, the small forms are much prettier.
xoxo
A baker's dozen, please!
ReplyDeleteYum!
ReplyDeleteSo, do the bakers say anything to you while you're taking twenty photographs of their work? :)
Lovely! And delicious photography (sans the calories of the treat itself). :)
ReplyDeleteMerisi,
ReplyDeleteBrava! Dinner and a show. Love these, so scrumptious. They have quite a flair. and raspberries, yummy.. thanks for the treat! All best, Jan
I will say it again!
ReplyDeleteThese are EXCESSIVE!!!
and so damn pretty...
I would have loved to see the "innards" on these puppies..
ReplyDeleteAnatomically speaking of course.
A totally RASPBERRY post!
ReplyDeleteEven the text is raspberry red...
How delicious.
PG:
ReplyDeleteDemel's always has some surprise waiting for the golosi (try as I might, I can't think of a proper English expression for "he or she who has a sweet tooth" *g*).
Imagine, I started out with Émilie Simon's "La Marche de l'empereur", then changed my mind and went with Liza Minelli. ;-)
Melissa:
Thank you. :-)
Those raspberries did not only look tasty, they had an exquisite sent and sun-kissed flavor.
O' Ispahan,
ReplyDeleteyou witch!
Cross the Alps
and hide in snowy schlag.
Opera singers gobble
Between acts,
without losing their pitch.
Tracy:
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
ParisBreakfasts:
It was delicious, Carol, the delicate structure melting into almond and rose flavored goodness, the rose and raspberry aroma almost causing a fainting spell. My tastebuds, in a state of rapture, wanting to hold on to it for eternity.
Tea:
ReplyDeleteMust have been the gold leaf on those Kameel macarons (not consumed, only admired! *g*), that gave me that extra kick to suddenly be able to read Croatian. *giggle* xxx
Cream:
You going for ecstacy, Cream?
(I am pretty sure that 13th macaron will do the job! *gg*)
Oooh! This is sooo delicious looking, it's making me very hungry ... and no decent patiseries for miles and miles :-(
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
Brian:
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! :-)
I am not disturbing any baker while they create positive karma for mankind (would be a crime, wouldn't it? *tztz*). :-)
paris parfait:
Thank you.
Yes, indeed, one could say I sacrificed myself for the good of all of you. ;-)
Those look almost too lovely to eat, except that raspberries are my favorite :)
ReplyDeletere: children's rooms -wise advice. We have a once a week policy - once a week we put everything away. I may have to add the suggested path policy to accompany the weekly clean up for safety.
Janice C. Cartier:
ReplyDeleteMille grazie! *bow*
Thinking of you and New Orleans.
ParisBreakfasts:
EXCESSIVE?
Why, of course, we are here in Vienna, we are very aware that every pastry could be the last one.
Pretty?
Oh yes!Pretty and witty and filled with whippy cream! :-)
Lucinda:
Next time, I shall carry one of those little pretties over to the CSI and have it ... hm ... analyzed (we want to be careful with word choices, we don't want to hurt sensible souls, do we? *g*). ;-)
Elenore Steber:
ReplyDeleteThank you for this beautiful little ode to the Ispahan! :-)
*swooning* i feel as if i gained 10 lbs just LOOKING at those pics!!!
ReplyDeleteplease more, ma'am!
Oh my god! Is that post beautiful or cruel! Raspberries are my favourite fruit back home but I ALWAYS leave the south as they are coming into season! I can only get, you guessed it, frozen ones up here. Enough of my self pity, it is a beautiful creation.
ReplyDeleteI want one of those so bad, droool.
ReplyDeleteWow...love this!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going for a 60k bike ride tonight just becasue I dared to linger!
ReplyDeleteSavannah:
ReplyDeleteImagine, I never gained a pounds here in Vienna. Doing 3000 km and a dozen cities in 5 days in Italy this summer did me in. I am still working them sweet cornetti in the morning off.
c'est moi:
Thank you! :-)
I know that situation, leaving just the moment when a favorite fruit comes into season. For years and years I left Washington while the white peaches were nearing their prime season and then Austria before my beloved elderberries ripened.
Gina:
ReplyDeleteI'll beam one of those over to you! :-)
Gemma:
Welcome to the "We Love Rose Macarons" club (WLRMC *g*).
They didn't have them yesterday, otherwise I would have had to take one home. Strictly for research purposes (studying their anatomy fo Lucina!). :-)
hexe:
ReplyDeleteIndeed, made me feel like a villain, sticking the cake fork into that little darling. :-(
(Re rooms: Good policy! *g*)
Elisabeth:
Thank you! :-)
You caffettiera is still dancing on its wire mesh feet in my head. :-)
Simon:
I see, you worked out for me too.
Thank you so much! :-)
gloriously sinful!!..
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can settle for just one :>
These so beautiful Ispahan look so delicious.. great pictures!
ReplyDeleteLady Luxie:
ReplyDeleteYou'll be happy with one, it makes for six little perfect bites. :-)
Marraine:
Merci beaucoup! :-)
Oh. My. Goodness. Those are AMAZING. I don't think I've ever seen anything look so perfectly scrumptuous. Wow. I'm glad you posted so many pictures of them - I'm still not sure it was quite enough to do them justice!
ReplyDeleteTara,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, those are amazing little creations. And so Viennese (Demel's interpretation couldn't be more "traditional" *g*). They make me smile everytime I look at them.
Too good, imho - that one where the fork is near? - I almost bit into the computer screen
ReplyDeleteSally Crawford:
ReplyDelete*chuckle*
Sally, are you saying we need a warning sign up there or a MacDemel edible screen???
Merisi:
ReplyDeleteThis is like food pornography. I am now lusting after those beautiful creations. I believe you have made me commit two deadly sins at once here. Shame!
2? Did you book a flight? ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, well, the second sin is gluttony, of course. I couldn't have those wonderful treats in your pictures, so I scarfed down about 20 chocolate chip cookies, instead. Didn't help. I still want them :-)
ReplyDeletea MacDemel edible screen please; macarons (we Brits seem to call them meringues) with raspberries, rose petals and schlag at the touch of a button.
ReplyDeletePlease.
:))
Suldog:
ReplyDeleteAre we talking about 20 dinner size Pepperidge Farm Sausalito Milk Chocolate Chunk Macadamia Nut cookies? Do you have the number of your next Poison Control Center handy? (Just in case!)
Sally Crawford:
We'll whip them up shortly (as you know, everything in-house, hand-made, best components only!).
*smile@allofyou*
Delicious.
ReplyDeleteThose look like little red comment balloons sticking out of those tarts. I wonder what they'd say? "Love me -- I'm so sweet"?
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow.
ReplyDeleteI was in Oslo again in the beginning of this week trying out two for me new flavours of macarons. Nowehere as yummy looking as yours though :-)

ReplyDeleteIngrid Bergman
Moi, in Autumn I'd rather be a sheep covered in thick wool, lying right next to an open fire..
Wendyb:
ReplyDeleteToo delicious. Almost.;-)
Andrea:
Imagine Marilyn Monroe's voice, breathing, "Love me,
don't eat me ... "
Britt-Arnhild:
Those rose macarons seemed like an apparition, here one moment, gone since then. ;-)
Cream:
Was it the lion or the wolf in sheep's cloth who devoured poor little Rose Macaron? *giggle*
Certainly these are served in heaven? My God what beauties! Can a sweet be in prettier! I think I would wear it as a crown!
ReplyDeletetongue in cheek:
ReplyDeleteDemel's heaven on Kohlmarkt Street! :-)
You'd have to avoid the sun with a Rose Macaron Crown! Maybe better savour dainty by dainty bite?
That looks too decadent to be real.
