And my niece is also allergic to nuts, so I couldn't make and dump it all with her. Call it beginner's luck, I made this today. And it turn out well. However, I want to experiment it more using the right tool for the job.
I will start my macaron baking class in April this year. Been putting it off for so long and my students are getting impatient with me.
I made mine with chocolate and the filling was cream cheese. Taste wise, I am quite pleased with it. I think the cheese went very well with the chocolate. Since it was sweet, the cream cheese somewhat mellowed the taste.
I made this without cream of tartar because I want to go 'chemical-free'. And mine look different shaped because I just use eyeball control to pipe out the batter. I didn't measure and draw circles on the baking paper to get the right shape.
I am going to make more for Sunday's class to feed my students when they come for Chiffon and Sponge cake baking.
stay tuned for more macaron madness!

strangely, i too tried making them yesterday and they were more macawrongs than macarons
Hi Lily, I baked alot of cookies and also create recipes for food manufacturers..so I think its more than beginner's luck for me to be able to figure this out. I don't have cracks and have all the little frilly 'legs' and it was perfect except the shape wasn't round. Some big, some small. Because i just pipe based on eyeball control looking, estimation. I am going to China next month to stock up for bakeware. I should be able to get more macarons templates to make it more professional round looking. :)
Wow...finally your turn to try these crazily sweet stuff! Good job for your first trial.
WF, I am not eating it though. Just want to try my hands on it. Already did another batch last night. And had it filled with Whipped cream laced with bailey cream liquor. :)
