On my last night home before moving into my dorm, I decided to go on a mini adventure to Huntington Village on Long Island with my good friend Flo. We headed over to one of my favorite little treat shoppes, Kiss My Cake, and was reminded of all the reasons why I'm so in love with macarons.
Kiss My Cake is this cute little Parisian style cafe that serves tea & coffee, cupcakes, gelato, and of course French Macarons. I think it's the perfect alternative to the Starbucks down the road as it offers a more affordable and experience friendly environment. I think Flo and I sat there a total of one hour and downed three macarons each and a lovely cup of Vanilla Dulce tea. Kiss My Cake is just one of the many hidden treasures of Huntington Village that makes me absolutely love the Island. Not only are the treats amazing but, it's got this European café vibe to it that almost transports you to the continent itself. Don't get me wrong there is no forgetting that you are in NY thanks to the hustle and bustle of traffic outside and the loud unfiltered voices of the customers but, for a moment you can really appreciate another culture thanks to the amazing French decor and delicacies in the shoppe.
I had my very first macaron at Kiss My Cake last year, and my last before heading off to school was just as delicious. So fluffy and airy, sweet but not too sweet, and filled with the most perfect blended buttercream filling; my mouth is watering at the thought. The Vanilla Dulce tea was just as good and a perfect pairing with macarons as it offers a subtly sweet flavor.
I'm going to miss my favorite little treat shoppe over the semester. Lucky for me it's only a short 45 minute drive away, it's just about finding the time to go as I'm taking 21 credits this semester plus work and radio but we shall see. If you make your way over to Kiss My Cake any time soon I recommend 100% the pistachio macaron as it is my favorite!
What is your favorite dessert and does anyone else have this sick obsession with macarons as I do?
