It is pink ribbon month after all.<br /><br />Audax - Thank you so much! It was especially possibly because of all the amazing advice you were giving out on the forum. You're the macaron expert!<br /><br />MandyM - Ooh I've never had it on toast before but I'm willing to try! Rosewater buttercream sounds lovely :)<br /><br />Ahmad - Oh wow!! You're too sweet!
