Ladurée Covent Garden

 London, WC2E 8RA

Speaking of which, Laduree has arrived to New York!

- there's a shop just opened on

864 Madison Avenue (71st Street)

"These small, round cakes, crisp on the outside,

smooth and soft in the middle,

 are the most famous creation of Ladurée.

The story of the Ladurée macaron

starts with Pierre Desfontaines,

second cousin of Louis Ernest Ladurée,

who at the beginning of the 20th century

first thought of taking two macaron shells

and joining them with a delicious ganache filling.

These small, round cakes, crisp on the outside,

smooth and soft in the middle,

 are made every morning in Ladurée’s “laboratory”.

The pastry chefs measure out very precisely

the required amounts of almonds, eggs and sugar,

before adding one final ingredient,

a pinch of unique “know-how”,

essential to the making of such a delicacy.

Once cooked and filled,

the macaroons are put to one side

for 2 days before going on sale,

 the time it takes to achieve

a perfect balance between texture and flavour.

With each new season,

Ladurée pays tribute to its most famous creation

by creating a new flavour.
The existing range of macarons is always the starting point

when a new one is created,

as the variety of colours is as important as

the range of flavours

and a vital part of their appeal."
