Parisian Sweets for Mother's Day

Simulate the sweet scents of Paris through pastry. While your macarons may not be on a par with Pierre Herme's, creating these beauties will be more satisfying than salivating over the colorful confections in a shop. But it's not about you, it's about Mom. Wrap these up and give them to her—it could be just the motivation she needs to book a family trip to Paris. –Jill Santopietro
