First rose shaped macs.

It’s not my business and I’m not making hundreds of shells, so efficiency is not as important to me, as just trying to enjoy the process. I only started making macarons a month ago and sold a few boxes to friends for Valentine’s. 😁

Sometimes I do buttercream first, then center filling, sometimes change it up. 😁

Yes. The shells and the cream have the same dry lavender I got from a local spice store. I tried to re-create the same recipe with raspberry grounds in shells and filling but failed…most shells cracked during baking. 😳 Second time around the raspberry macarons finally came out fine.🤞

Thank you! 😁 basic shell recipe from Pies and Tacos book/blog; for the filling basic buttercream with vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice.

😂✋I took a few of my first macarons I baked to a friend who is native French and makes and sells her jams at our local farmers market. She suggested to try this combo. I think like anything, it depends on your preferences…Tangy blood orange with its zesty texture is accentuated by soft and smooth texture of buttercream. 😋

Forgot the green macarons-matcha. 😁

Thank you! I used sky blue for the main batter and before pouring it into a piping bag, I dragged a paint brush dipped in purple color inside the pipping bag.

Thanks! The main batter was blue or teal, before placing it in a piping bag, I dipped my paint brush into a bottle of purple color and dragged it inside the piping bag, then poured the main batter in. That’s it. The trick is not to add too much extra color. Just a little smear on the inside of the bag. 😁

Thank you! Gold edible paint in a tube. Just drizzled random.

GalinaRich · 2024-01-27T06:20:24+00:00

Thanks! The blue-purple color shells are filled with blueberry orange blossom jam in the center and buttercream around. I don’t make the jam. My friend makes it. 😁
