Macaroon Sculpture for Fashion Photography Event











Here are some pictures of a macaroon sculpture I made for the launch of "Fashion: The Story of a Lifetime" exhibition at The Empty Quarter Gallery in DIFC Gate Village. The sculpture was inspired by Frank Horvat's famous photograph in L'Officiel pictured below. This photograph is one among many at the exhibition. Make sure you check the exhibition out- it's on till mid October!
The picture quality of the sculpture is poor because I took the pictures from my phone- apologies.
It was the first time I made anything remotely like a design "installation" and it was the first time that I made a shaped structure out of food.. It was a wonderful experience, very challenging and exciting! Loved it! The best part was draping the lace and pearls around the sculpture.

Macaroons!

So here are the results of my first attempt at making macaroons! Raspberry and rosewater flavoured. As you might remember, (if you are an avid and obsessive reader of my blog- which I'm sure of), I took a macaroons cooking class sometime in May at Atelier des Chefs Dubai. This is the first time I make them on my own!- and my second time to make them in total. I tried making them once when I was a total newbie at baking and they ended up looking like soup so that attempt OF COURSE does not count! ;)
Enjoy the pictures!
