15th Aug 2010: Macaron Attempt no.2

Introducing Misfit

Teal colored macarons are my favorite color! Puts a smile on my face when i piped them out on the tray.

Majorica (My macarons have names for each distinctive color) 

I've always referred this as just something sweet and nothing special. In short, it all felt like a dash of sugar meringue. But oh boy - I am so wrong about it! Real macarons should taste crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside - the aroma of the almond ground is simply delectable!

Macarons may look easy and simple. But it's quite the opposite and baking it is so much fun + hard work because you won't know how it looks till it's baked and principal ingredients requires double sifting.

The macarons all piped onto tray and waiting to dry before baking it. Principal ingredients for macarons - icing sugar, almond grounds and French / Swiss Meringue.


Mystique (Marble effect macaron)

Never attempt to pipe the macarons like me. I wanted something quick and no fuss but it's too much of a waste. Always use reusable piping / plastic - whichever that allows you to scrap and pipe till the very last dot!

Since I've failed baking macarons before - I thought I've got nothing to lose and decided to bold the colors - perhaps a little marble effect would be nice!


Care for a bite?
