Hi everyone! I'm Aimee and yes, I am totally obsessed with macarons!
I have been baking for restaurants and corporates for some time. A few years back, I tasted a perfect rose buttercream macaron from Laduree. It was love at first bite! Unfortunately, there were so many macarons in Joburg that were just not up to par, so I went to Paris and I learned the art of making macarons there. I then decided to specialise in macarons only, and shifted my focus entirely.
I saw just how diverse their flavours and colours could be - there is no limit to what you can do with them!
These little beauties are affectionately known in the culinary world as "The Bitches of Pastry" and there is a very good reason for that. They are very very difficult to make correctly. The top macaron chef's in Paris estimate that up to 25% of every batch is wasted due to imperfections!
After a while, I realised that so many people loved them, but very few could actually make them successfully. It was at this time that I branched out into teaching macaron classes as well. To this day, I only take up to 6 students per class to ensure that the classes are personal and that everyone who comes experiences the joy of making perfect macarons!
I started Aimee Lloyd Macarons to spread the love and joy that macarons bring to a party or occasion. They add a sense of decadence and sophistication that is difficult to achieve with other foods. I love making them and I'm sure that you will enjoy eating them just as much!
