French Toast Macaron


The dedicated blogger known only as Lemonpi created these breakfast-inspired French Toast Macarons in honor of a friend’s birthday. A powerhouse of decadence, these condensed sweet morning meal morsels are shamelessly rich. Taking on the flavor profiles of all your favorite breakfast foods, these French Toast Macarons are impossible to resist.
To make the shells of the macaron more like french toast, Lemonpi swapped out the usual almond meal for fine breadcrumbs, which altered the overall texture of the macaron. The shells were then topped with a piping of buttery smokey bacon custard, as well as a few pieces of maple glazed bacon. These French Toast Macarons are the perfect delicate bite for sugar-loving carnivores everywhere. Topped with a light dusting of bacon and a maple syrup glaze, these tasty bites are enough to make anyone’s jaw drop.
Terribly tempting, decadent and downright evil, these French Toast Macarons deliver all the taste of breakfast in one delicious bite.

The W Paris


 The latest outpost of W Hotels, the long-awaited W Paris, has thrown open its doors in the French capital as Paris Fashion Week gets underway.
The W Paris offers 91 guest rooms going from €340 per night and overlooking the grandiose Opéra Garnier — Paris’s distinctly more traditional landmark opera house.
The interior of the building has clearly been designed to put a contemporary touch on the hotel’s historic buildings, with a sweeping, wrought-iron lined staircase, chandeliers in the bedrooms and antique-inspired furniture that has been brought up-to-date with new covers and designs.
Inside Arola, the hotel’s signature restaurant overseen by Spanish Michelin-starred chef Sergi Arola, Spanish specialities will be served in a room seemingly inspired by a traditional dining room, albeit with some contemporary touches of scarlet.
