I love the colourful, 50 cent piece sized macaroons that the Croissant D’Or sell.

Or rather used to sell.

I enquired about them today when I couldn’t see any in the display.

The girl behind the counter explained that they can make them to order, but they are so fiddly that they no longer make them, as a matter of course.

The thing is, their pastry chef, David, recently left, and until they find someone new, those macaroons are going to be hard to come by.

Please! Someone out there who is a pastry chef, you are needed!
