Macaron-baking Hiatus
Apologies for the month-long hiatus. I’ve been busy the past month with baking, and haven’t had time to put up any food reviews. Be assured that this blog is still active, and I’ll be back shortly!
Featured here are my green tea, coconut-taro, and apple pie macarons!
I’m selling them via www.moocarons.com . No retail outlet, strictly baking-to-order at the moment.

You make macarons?!?!?! OMG!!! They look great! They have feets! hahaha I tried making them and didn’t go so well, so I’m just gonna leave them to the experts. I like my macarons slightly chewier. I wonder what is the textures of yours… hopefully I can try them one day. Please let us know when you start selling them! My favorite macarons are from La Bamboche
these look delicious! you are so talented. I must start learning how to bake macarons one of these days!
@Jenny Thanks! I think it definitely helps if you have someone who can show you the steps — I did a class during the summer, and I’m not a baker at all. You’re a far more accomplished baker than I am — I only make macarons and nothing else. I’m hoping to find time in December to make macarons for friends/associates, so let me know if you’d like some. I like La Bamboche’s salted caramel – I’m hoping to make that flavour eventually.
@Mary Thank you!! There are soooo many online resources. I’ve found http://notsohumblepie.blogspot.ca/2010/04/macarons-101-french-meringue.html to be the most useful one, I base my proportions on the recipe above, and it’s a lot less sweet than most other recipes. Best of luck!
both Jenny & Mary, there are classes available via http://www.eatlivetravelwrite.com/classes/ and http://www.ledolci.com/class-schedule/ .. Mardi of EatLiveTravelWrite is quite respected in the North American macaron bloggosphere!
I have all the ingredients but only a hand mixer….so worried that they are not going to come out because I do not have a stand mixer…:(
I’ve heard some people actually prefer using a hand mixer, as it lets them scrap to the bottom of the bowl. Most important part is to make sure you’re not over-spooning/folding it, after you’ve beat it up nice and fluffy. Overspooned/folded batter = marawrongs!
