Not mine, but my friends' - Richard, Jeff, and Brett just moved into a condo together and hosted a housewarming last weekend. And I got to make some desserts for it! Macarons, red velvet cake with fondant, and corn salsa. The pictures of the party spread make me sad - lots of blur and artificial lighting, and my meager Aperture skills can't seem to save them. To do: get some sort of nice flash thing to partially avoid this in the future.
Progress photos of my desserts in an upcoming post!

| Someone switched the macarons and macaroons just because I have a weird neurosis about them |

Wow, this spread puts my brunch to shame! This looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteMost of it was my friend - he stresses and spends DAYS preparing! Even my desserts took a day or two of prep. Your brunch looked great, btw - I really want to host my own sometime!
