If there’s such a thing as macaron enrapturement, I am in the throes of it. Since beginning this little blog, I have ogled many a macaron, from the humble and homey (such as PB & J) to the ostentatiously epicurean (fig and foie gras, anyone?), but no one makes macarons like these hand-painted confections by Lou Lou P’s Delights. The work of an edible artist extraordinaire, Lou’s creations range from refined and elegant to pop-culturally quirky to wryly and humorously macabre (an anatomically correct macaron heart, for instance, and a build-your-own skeleton with tonic water–infused macarons that glow in the dark). Feast your eyes upon these far-from-ordinary treats!
These sweet little vanilla rose macarons are imbued with all the yesteryear charm of antique floral prints.

There’s a little Botticelli in these “Vanilla Romance” macarons.
Who couldn’t love a macaron with one of Beatrix Potter’s beloved characters smack dab in the middle of it? Peter Rabbit, Jeremy Fisher, Jemima Goose, Samuel Whiskers—they’re all here! These would have been perfect for this Beatrix Potter–inspired summer wedding. They would also make a marvelous addition to any baby shower or child’s birthday party.
Haven’t you heard? Robots are chic!
Take me to the retro burger joint! These “Big Juicy Macs” are double chocolate macarons in disguise.
