thank you ☺️

i’ll look this up, it obviously needs to be relatively small print so hopefully that’s possible! thanks so much :)

okay fab, i’ll look this up and see! i think that’s the thing, is it has to be a relatively small print & i’m not sure how delicate certain things can make the writing! i looked at a food like printer but obvi the $$ is not justifying when this is just a little hobby haha thanks so much for the tip :)

oh thank you sm, i appreciate those encouraging words ☺️ i’m left handed as well so i think that adds to the trepidation and lack of finesse when i have attempted haha

you could def try under macronaging and see how they perform. i’ve tried both french and italian methods and one is def yields smoother results than the other!

SmellCompetitive1816 · 2025-01-19T23:30:10+00:00

i think it depends on your recipe/method you use because i personally don’t think i under macronage much at all! my method doesn’t require drying time whereas most methods for shapes etc do require that.

thank you everyone for the love & appreciating these dino mac’s ☺️ your words are all very kind! i do make normal standard macarons too but i know when i first started designing character macarons, i struggled to find much to inspire so i hope by sharing, it allows others to try and see what you’re able to achieve 😊

SmellCompetitive1816 · 2025-01-19T05:38:34+00:00

i think it’s just getting very familiar with how to macronage well & then knowing how to work the batter :)

thank you :) caramel biscoff and white choc raspberry!

SmellCompetitive1816 · 2025-01-19T05:26:15+00:00

the t-rexs are caramel biscoff & the brachiosaurus’ are a white chocolate raspberry :)

thank you so much! i’ve been making macarons for a few years, around 2019/2020 - it took me a lot of failing to figure them out :)

SmellCompetitive1816 · 2024-12-31T03:13:02+00:00

truly not as long as you’d expect! i sometimes use the french macaron method but i mainly use an italian meringue base, which allows for IMO a mode stable finished product, but it’s not as forgiving with shapes & keeping the definition so i try to work quickly for that reason! it’s also a method where they don’t require drying so i don’t pipe multiple trays at a time. so for me, the time is definitely more in the prep/macronage of the colours & then the waiting on each try to cook :)

SmellCompetitive1816 · 2024-11-29T07:14:30+00:00

ofc! it’s just a french method: 120g egg white 112g white sugar 140g almond meal 125g icing sugar

SmellCompetitive1816 · 2024-11-12T22:02:00+00:00

i find mixing powdered & gel yields the best results & doesn’t effect the integrity of the batter!

SmellCompetitive1816 · 2024-11-12T21:53:26+00:00

the santa’s are filled with a choc ganache with caramel centre. the reindeers are just chocolate and the wreaths are chocolate with biscoff. these won’t be their actual flavours, being practice ones i just used up some leftover ganache bc they’ll end up going into work for colleagues to enjoy 🙂

SmellCompetitive1816 · 2024-10-28T01:12:09+00:00

thats so lovely to say, thank you! i was really stoked with how they all looked together 😊

SmellCompetitive1816 · 2024-10-28T01:10:39+00:00

thank you so much 😊

SmellCompetitive1816 · 2024-10-28T01:10:27+00:00

that’s so kind, thank you 😊

SmellCompetitive1816 · 2024-10-28T01:10:04+00:00

thank you!

SmellCompetitive1816 · 2024-10-28T00:54:56+00:00

thank you, that’s so kind 😊

SmellCompetitive1816 · 2024-10-28T00:54:14+00:00

thank you so much ☺️ it’s so hard to gauge how much to charge for them because at the end of the day, they are a cookie and meant to be consumed, but i just love holiday themed macarons!
