World Macaron Day is March 20th. To commemorate the occasion Those fun and thoughtful gals Jamie and Deeba over at Mactweets challenged us to come up with an idea to celebrate the Macaron’s special day. I actually got inspired by the Mactweets blog logo and thought to breathe some life into these cookies. It sounds strange to call macarons cookies, no? They seem to be in a class all by themselves.
So because I’m nuts and weird things inspire me, I thought what better way to celebrate than to highlight some of the most “famous” macarons in history?
I set out full of passion and ideas for my creations. Unfortunately they turned out looking like a chimpanzee made them. Someone with much better artistic skills could have taken these to a whole other level. So I’m giving myself points for my creative idea but for the result, not so much but here they are…

| Marilyn Macroe |

| Bob MacMarley |

| Andy MacWarhol |

| Billie Holidaymac |
 |
| Albert MacEinstein (No, it’s not a sheepdog. Husband suggested I take my inspiration from the tongue out picture) |

| Barmac Obama |

The Andy Warhol with the soup can face cracked me up. So did that little Obama – He looks horrified. Probably because someone is about stuff him in their maw. Love it all!
