These look absolutely stunning - the photos are beautiful! I also learnt the hard way that less is very much more when baking with lavender and it needs another relatively robust flavour alongside it, so lemon sounds perfect!
I love your use of the word robust there! And absolutely. I found it a bit of a balancing act between the two, so they complement, rather than overpower each other.
Those macarons are so gorgeous, Shell! What I wouldn’t give for a few of those with a hot drink! ☕️ You are so right about lavender quickly becoming overwhelming in baked goods. But when the ratio is right, it’s sublime. I made myself a birthday cake a few years ago that was lavender, blackberry, and Earl Grey. It was so yummy!
I’d definitely recommend it, I don't like lavender on its own but with this flavour pairing, it’s so grown up and refined! The balance is a little tricky, they can overpower each other if you aren't careful. But when it's right, it's 👌
Those macarons look absolutely amazing! Such good ideas throughout the whole piece for flavour pairings too - thank you.
Thank you! I am so pleased you like 😊

Thank you! They took a few attempts to get right, but now I am so pleased with them.
Ooooh, that birthday cake sounds delish, so grown up and elegant!
Gorgeous post Shell! Those macarons are absolutely stunning. I’d certainly be tempted to give lavender a try with the addition of glorious lemon 🍋
Thank you so much!

These are so beautiful! Must smell so good with each bite too!
Thank you! It has been smelling pretty good around here I must say!
