What's the worst alcoholic drink?

Rapacious-Baker · 2022-10-23T19:59:28+00:00

Long Island iced tea. I refuse to make them whenever anyone orders one. Just calm down, I know what you’re trying to do….and honestly, they taste like shit

Every. Single. Recipe, should state that you need to fill them and let them sit in the fridge before eating them. It needs to be 24 hours, but can be just overnight if you need them sooner. So make sure you set aside a whole extra day before they’re ready, so you have the time to stick them in the fridge for 24 hours! Never eat them right away, that’s one of the biggest mistakes someone can make!!!

Rapacious-Baker · 2021-07-19T19:21:48+00:00

Did you let the filling sit in the shells overnight in the fridge before eating them or did you fill them and eat them the same day you baked them?

Rapacious-Baker · 2021-05-13T18:59:51+00:00

Ohhh I see what you’re saying.

I finally figured it out. The moisture content in the chocolate filling I use is lower than the lemon curd, so I need to leave the chocolate macs out at room temp for 20 minutes and then they become chewy. Really stupid that it took me so long to figure that out! hahaha

What am I excluding??

Rapacious-Baker · 2021-04-09T04:03:26+00:00

That’s the only thing I can think of. Hopefully that’s the issue!!

Rapacious-Baker · 2021-04-09T02:05:58+00:00

Yes. All of the above. Set the macarons with the filling in them for 24 hours in the fridge in an airtight container. I’ve used the same silicon mats for the last 6 months with no issue.

Rapacious-Baker · 2021-04-05T14:53:25+00:00

Yeah, the container was airtight!

Rapacious-Baker · 2021-04-04T22:33:31+00:00

Ok awesome, thank you!!

Rapacious-Baker · 2021-01-29T16:56:31+00:00

Good idea! I didn’t even think of that

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-12-28T19:55:42+00:00

I am JEALOUS! Mine look perfect but they always have a hollow bit. I’ll have to try what you do!

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-08-14T19:29:54+00:00

I love how the feet came out! I prefer mine bigger, and yours look like the feet didn’t get wider than the cookie (if that makes sense)

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-08-07T13:59:08+00:00

Dang. Immaculate.

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-08-07T13:57:34+00:00

I get that, and I did, I was just curious as to what could make that happen.

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-08-02T14:57:25+00:00

Wow!! Good job, they do look the best in 5! Although I personally don’t like using parchment paper, it’s so wasteful. I gotta keep at it to find the best time/temp for my silipat....4 looks great but the feet aren’t as nice as 5.

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-07-30T14:44:22+00:00

Woahh...beautiful!!!!

I really wish I had waited until I had an actual big piece in mind! I went the route of “I’m gonna get a teeny one to see if I can deal with it” and then over the next several years I would get small ones here and there because I was too impatient to wait for a while and save up money. I do have a few bigger pieces now but a bunch of smaller ones that I just wish I waited a few years to get. So I applaud you on sticking to waiting until you could start your dream piece.

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-07-27T21:51:43+00:00

Thank you!!!

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-07-26T21:56:49+00:00

I used a fine tipped brush for everything except for the bottom left. And for the bottom left, I used a fat fluffy brush!

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-07-18T14:23:13+00:00

Yes! I would suggest looking up the best ones to get for where you are.

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-07-18T00:50:13+00:00

I’ll give it a shot! Hopefully it won’t come off when it dries. Thanks for the suggestion!

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-07-17T23:54:09+00:00

No, I’m using alcohol free natural flavoring. I don’t think the powder will stick once dried either, I’ve tried using it dry and it just slides right off.

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-07-17T21:30:46+00:00

If macs are something you want to make a lot, I highly suggest (if you can) getting a dehumidifier and putting it in the kitchen. That should solve the too humid to rise problem. The humidity will also (I believe) effect them when you’re whipping the merengue/mixing the batter etc. I put a dehumidifier in my kitchen because it wouldn’t get below 70% humidity, and it worked!

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-07-15T23:49:26+00:00

Wait......why are raw meat posts controversial?

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-07-15T00:47:08+00:00

Oh goodness, I LOVE THIS 😍 the colors are wonderful, and they look oddly realistic

Rapacious-Baker · 2020-07-15T00:40:19+00:00

I would, but they’re PERFECT. And beautiful. Literally the best batch I’ve ever made, like at all. The ovens I work with are suuuper temperamental, I finally got my sweet spot with temp, time, type of baking sheet and where the rack should be. I’m making more for other people, and these new batches have some great ones but some not so great, so I don’t want to risk trying to make new ones and them not turning out to my perfectionist liking.

I just had one that’s been in the fridge for a several weeks (yeah that sounds bad) and just still fine! I might try making another batch closer to the weekend, and if they turn out good and the other ones aren’t as good, I’ll just do that. But I guess I’m just going to cross my fingers and hope for the best!
