Eek!<br /><br />Lora: I wasn't sure if the combo would work in a macaron but it totally does. Nothing like showing your devotion to a sport than making maracons I reckon :P<br /><br />Emma Galloway: Yay! So stoked someone recognised the blobs as NZ!!<br /><br />Mel: Thanks mel! Had heaps of fun writing the post! Sesame and coconut are such a natural combo in asian desserts I just had to try them out in a macaron!<br /><br />Christina: My husband drilled into me all the rugby positions during the world cup...what better way to learn them than with macarons though ay?<br /><br />jacksta: Thanks lovely!<br /><br />timeforalittlesomething: Thanks heaps Jem!<br /><br />Domestic Executive: Thanks for your comment! I'm not sure I'll add food colouring in next time...not a big fan of lots of colouring either! Au natural is the way to go yea?<br /><br />PFx: Pierre! Hope you managed to find a sports bar in Seoul! What a tournament! World champions buddy!!! wooop!!!<br /><br />Alessandra: Thanks so much for stopping by. I actually ended up tipping almost 2 tbsp of colouring into it to get the black colour...sooo soo much. Don't think I'm going to use as much next time (or even any!) not a huge fan of using so much colour... :) Am honoured to be on your blog roll thanks so much for adding me!!<br /><br />delacasa: Awww you are so so sweet! Am so totally flattered by your comment! I'm not sure I know enough about photos to do a whole post on them...literally have to take 100 to get a few good ones!! I'll see if I can put together one though so watch this space! Thanks again for your lovely comment, you've totally made my day :)Nessie @ bakingequalslovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06290180828615367628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147992061427760299.post-10576080620027438792012-01-12T23:08:35.700-08:002012-01-12T23:08:35.700-08:00I'm totally awed by your photos.

Would you consider doing a post on your photo-shoot set up? I'd love to learn some tips, as would most readers no doubt!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147992061427760299.post-89949686510308611862011-09-08T14:20:58.669-07:002011-09-08T14:20:58.669-07:00Cool idea :-), and then I love black sesame seeds ...Cool idea :-), and then I love black sesame seeds and I use them a lot, especially because I try not to use too much food colouring. In fact can I ask you how many drops of black did you need for your mixture? <br /><br />First time here and happy to have found your blog, I will put it in my blog roll for NZ blogs, if you don't mind.<br />And of course I am following you, for me too baking + love :-).<br /><br />Ciao<br />Alessandra<br /><br />PS<br />I have a give away on my blog now, a book with lots of baking :-)Alessandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616072198034545392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147992061427760299.post-43579491252249898742011-09-07T17:55:05.692-07:002011-09-07T17:55:05.692-07:00Look at you Macaroning over the kitchen. And uhmm....Look at you Macaroning over the kitchen. And uhmm... French recipe for the all Black, sneaky sneaky. Hahaha. <br />It took me a couple of years of living in NZ to figure out when exactly did NZ won the cup, and then it took me a couple more to work out the logic of why do Kiwi love rugby despite the grimmed stats. <br />You think we're gonna take the cup this time around? Certainly brings a lot of nail-biting pre-game hope, after the tri-Nation lost though...<br />I will definitely come to the nearest Sport's bar in Seoul tomorrow to be the only all Black fan in the whole pub.PFxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14896399490504189192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147992061427760299.post-79832822910202117212011-09-07T14:22:07.342-07:002011-09-07T14:22:07.342-07:00Great to see RWC spin on macaroons.
