Macarons & Instagram Giveaway


I cannot believe it myself, but a total of 1000 people are following me on Instagram (@curlsncakes). That's a lot of people. So many, that I would be highly uncomfortable if I was actually around 1000 people, but the distance that the internet provides makes me feel safe. Through Instagram I've met many special people. I've met people I can call my friends and I value the relationships I've made through social media very much.



In order to celebrate 1000 people (still can't process it) following me, I am hosting a Giveaway on Instagram. I will be giving a handmade (by myself) macaron necklace to one lucky winner. It will look like the pink one I'm wearing in these pictures but the winner will be able to choose the colour of her/his preference.


So if you want a sweet little macaron necklace, find the original post on my Instagram and follow the instructions.



I love macarons. They are the perfect little pieces of sweetness. I also love making macarons, even though it can be tricky. Macarons are volatile but that's part of their charm. Because they are so unpredictable, I respect macarons greatly. A good macaron is a piece of craftsmanship at it's best.





My beautiful bow headband is from Beau xoxo, which is one of my favourite etsy shops and because the theme of today is macarons, the print is of course of colourful and cute little macarons. I adore this headband!



Dress: ModCloth (here)
Headband: Beau xoxo (here)
Necklace: Handmade by myself, but you can win one on my IG

But back to the necklace. It will be in the colour of the winner's choice and completely handmade by me, so don't forget to check out the Giveaway on my instagram!

Much love!

  1. Well, goodness! Congratulations on the big 1K! You have such a delightfully lovely account, and I'm really excited for you :-D

    Those macarons look so dainty and perfect! I've actually never had one, but in honor of your contest, I feel it's my duty to go out and try one.

    1. Thank you so much beautiful Devinne! <3 It means a lot coming from you!
      Oh thanks, they were my fourth or fifth batch of macarons so I'd started to get a hang of it. NEVER?! You need to get at least one! Chocolate is usually my favourite, but I also like berry-flavours. Let me know what you think!
      Much love!
