Macarons are certainly favour of the month Downunder. The delicate meringue based treats are featured on numerous magazine covers in the newstands for this Christmas.

As they are often finicky things for homecooks to make,
today as part of my Christmas Advent Calendar full of surprises I'm offering you the chance to win a gift-boxed selection of 12 macarons baked by myself and delivered to your door in time for Christmas.
However, if mine flop I do reserve the right to purchase you a dozen instead!

All you have to do is leave a comment on this page telling me your dream macaron flavour before 3pm (NZST) next Monday the 6th December 2010. This giveaway has now closed!
Congratulations to Alessandra!

Keep checking behind the Christmas Puddings each day, there are more surprises and giveaways on their way!

The flavour you see here in the photo are chocolate and marshmallow - "s'mores". My fairies will help choose a winner and I'll get in touch a.s.a.p

Sadly due to the fragile nature of macarons and shipping concerns this giveaway is only open to New Zealand residents.
