As many Asian chain bakeries are, the Cake House in Little Osaka on Sawtelle Boulevard has really cute cakes displayed almost immaculately.  The original bakery is located in Koreatown, but this one was much easier to get to for myself.  Cake House has short cakes, cup cakes, tarts, mousses, ice popsicles, cream buns, and many other Euro-Asianesque baked goodies.

For the first time I have seen macarons individually packaged.  Each had the name of the store, the ingredients of the macarons, and where it was made.  There were many kinds on display as samples, and the rest were refrigerated behind the counter!  They were only $1.50 each too.  Thanks to the packaging, the fragile macarons safely made it home.

OVERALL:

• 1"-2" in diameter
• fragile outer layer
• sweet fillings
• comes in individual packaging

DETAILS:

BLUEBERRY

Plum colored outer shell has a balanced crunchy to moist texture.  The inside did not taste anything like blueberries.  It was more like sweet condensed milk or white chocolate.

MANGO

Yellow exterior with flavorful creamy yellow filling.  Tastes like sweet dried mangoes.

ROSE

Milky red outer shell is delicate.  The almost translucent white filling has an elegant rose flavor.

MATCHA

Mint green outer layer is a little airy inside but still moist.  It has a light green colored butter cream that has a slight flavor of a matcha latte.

MY FAVORITE:

Mango

CONCLUSION:

These individually packaged macarons were delicate, moist, had hints of flavor, and the filling was sweet and creamy.  I was really impressed with the refrigerating system it had, and how much care was put into preserving each macaron's freshness.
