Macarons for human, what about dog?

1 Day 1 World Project: The human at 4:00pm – 5:00pm (last week)

Patisserie La Douceur, Taipei

I’m hijacking the saturdayTraining post for another lifestyle post because I’m playing catchup with the 1 day 1 World Project. And because these photos look good in sepia. :P

So anyway, I took a photo of these macarons from Patisserie La Douceur before they ended up in my tummy. Yum. I think the flavours were Coffee, Chocolate, Pistachio and some Orange Flower-watchamacalit. Needless to say, the Coffee one is the best. *thumbsup*

Some photos from the night we went to Patisserie La Douceur.

Now I love macarons. And those macarons got me thinking – are there macarons for dogs at all? I know there are pupcakes, but macarons???

Bubba Rose Biscuit Company, New Jersey

Now apparently that wasn’t an original thought because, guess what, this couple have ran a dog bakery in Boonton, N.J. for more than 7 years. And their shop Bubba Rose Biscuit Company sells dog treats and biscuits, including macaroons for dogs.

OK fine, so those macaroons look more like Oreo cookies than macarons. :P

The hunt continues and wallah!!

Wonderpaw, Melbourne

From Melbourne, Australia, the Wonderpaw Pup Patisserie Shop sells doggie macarons that look like the real thing.

Pup Macarons™ in a pretty package, what’s there not to like?

The best-selling flavours appear to be Peanut Butter Praline and Honey Lavender. You’d think a human would know those flavours, but Wonderpaw says that while their Pup Macarons™  are ‘made with human-grade organic ingredients, they may taste a little funny to the human palate, as they’re filled with pup flavours‘.

Like human macarons, Wonderpaw macarons come in a variety of bright colours. I was curious about how they create the colours in the macarons, and it appears that the colouring is derived from organic fruit and vegetables only.

I don’t think we have macarons for dogs in Singapore, do we?

So I guess Donna will just have to wait for yours truly to master the art of macaron-making … which I’ll say is not likely. Never made a single macaron in my life and I have no idea how one derives colouring from organic fruit and vegetables in the first place! :P

Note: As the macaron is a sweet treat, Wonderpaw recommends at most 1-2 pup macarons per day only. I actually think it depends on the size of dog too. I wouldn’t feed a chihuahua a whole macaron. It’s the kind of sinful pleasure you feed your dog on special days only, I think ;P Just like I won’t eat ice cream or potato chips everyday myself. ;)
