Q: I'm having an outdoor wedding in the summer....will it be OK to leave the macarons outside under the sun?
A: Mon dieu! Oh my...absolutely not! Because the macarons are often filled with buttercream or chocolate, they will definitely melt.
Best to keep them indoors where they can be in a cool shaded area...and bring them out just before serving.

Best Temperature

Q: Can I eat Macarons directly from the fridge or freezer?
A: I know it's tempting...but it is best to bring them out and set them on the counter for 1/2 hour or 3/4 hour for them to come to room temperature.
While this is happening, it allows you time to bring out your best china & linens and prepare your tea and coffee for your guests.
