Day twelve - tea time macaroons

With the burra friends visiting us I felt tea would definitely be the order of the day.  So on finding Daniela’s macaroons on sale at the I Heart Market, I could not resist.  With R10 a delicious round of crusty shell and velvety centre plus a sixth free when ordering five, I was sold and we had tea for Sunday!  I chose six different flavours so we would each be able to have a taster.  One Chai, Peanut butter and sea salt, Pistachio, Strawberry, Passion Fruit and Chocolate macaroon later we were all sighing in pleasure.  How can you not after feasting on macaroons!

We each had different views on the best flavours and a full-fledged discussion on the best flavour ensued.  With Little Kim and Bundle of Se agreeing on the peanut butter and sea salt topping the list, Miss Kirsti’s sweet tooth was sold on the Pistachio, while also finishing off the Strawberry. For me the chocolate is always a winner as it even tasted of chocolate and not something trying to impersonate chocolate, which I find is often the case with ‘bought’ chocolate treats.

Daniela’s has just YAY opened an outlet in Umhlanga and has others in Hilcrest and Capetown, with speciality cakes and high teas being their order of business (click here for a look at a brochure) along with supplying macaroons to numerous restaurants in the area, Daniela’s macaroons truly are a deliciously decadent experience.  Like them here on Facebook for more information on how to enjoy your own deliciously decadent Daniela’s experience.
