Those of you following my tweets know that I have been covered in confectioner’s sugar and almond flour for 2.5 days as I furiously baked macaron after macaron batch for some orders and Broad Appetit. At last count, I baked more or less 950 macarons – that’s 1,900 piped shells!
I loved every minute of it. There is something so gratifying as you fill them and join the shells together and watching the filling squooshing to the edge. Yep- love.
I’ve been thinking about making another video, something more planned unlike the impromptu one I did on youtube last year.
The "Hungry" Hubby has also improved his video-editing skills so transitions should be better.
In the mean time, I’ll try to get a macaron recipe up. I’ve been wanting to make a chocolate macaron version using the Italian Meringue. This is a bit advance since it uses cacao pate but it should be similar to Pierre Herme’s chocoalate macarons that he sells in his shops.
Stay tuned!
Wow, I bet it is very gratifying to complete such a big task. Your macarons look so beautiful!
They are splendid!
Cheers,
Rosa
Great looking macs. I am still to bake successful batch number 1.
Thanks a lot, I saw your video before when I tried to work out my first macaron!! I did it once only, cause I found the almond is my biggest problem, and still cannot solve it, so have not try again till now…I an glad to found out that video is made by you! Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like you’ve had a ball – love the photo of the pyramid, and can’t wait to see what your next video looks like!
I envy that photo! How did you do that? Can I take a bite?
Congratulations on finishing that huge order of macarons!
I can’t imagine doing anything like this, but I love your pyramid and would be happy to taste any one of those flavors.
The effort was worth it! They were delicious. Thanks for being at Broad Appetit!
Had your macarons in the car on the way home from Broad Appetit – simply fabulous! Thanks for introducing me to such a delicious treat.
Hi Cindy and Messy Chef – happy you enjoyed the macarons, thanks for stopping by our booth!
You are on a roll! Nice to see you busy…
The passion fruit macaron was awesome! Perfect dessert at BroadAppetit
I’ve yet to learn how to make macaroons. The process still frightens me
hahahah in 2.5days making 1,900 shells is not a bad record, lol! I know how it feels like but at the end, those macaron is awesome!
Yummm…They are so cute….I love them
… I wonder how to keep hundreds of macarons since my fridge is not too big..
A mac food pyramid, that’s the things dreams are made of!
Passion: …so gratifying as you fill them and join the shells together and watching the filling squooshing to the edge. Yep- love. And there they are squooshing to the edge.
That pic should be a postcard!
