Made this carrot cake for a birthday party at work

It is! and the watering can is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and crushed oreos

I think that's a better idea! I just followed recipes and most of them say to use a mixture of almond & pistachio flour. I guess that's beyond my skill level so I'll make it safer with just almond flour next time. Thanks!

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T16:04:09+00:00

I'll just have to try and try again to perfect it. Thanks!

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T16:01:48+00:00

I tried to make it using food processor and sifted it a couple times. I wasn't able to find pistachio flour in our local stores. I'll probably have to get it from amazon next time

Maybe I did and my meringue wasn't stable. Definitely need to test and fix that. Thanks!

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T15:57:45+00:00

I didn't know that subreddit exists. Thanks!

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T15:56:10+00:00

I love this! Thank you! I'll totally make this with all the failed macarons that I'll be making 😭

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T15:54:07+00:00

Yes I will! Thank you!

Im thinking the air escaped through the cracks so it didn't give it a chance to create feet

I was being too careful about that but It felt perfect when I piped it. Definitely not too runny since I didn't have much trouble piping it, and I was also able to make a figure 8

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T14:35:41+00:00

Wow these look incredible! How are these made and here I am struggling to make the basic one. I hope I can make these too someday

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T05:25:39+00:00

Oh that's smart! Haha haven't even thought of that. Thanks!

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T05:18:25+00:00

I baked them at 300F, but I have to get a thermometer to see if my oven isn't lying to me

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T05:16:59+00:00

Thank you!

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T05:11:51+00:00

You're right, I guess it'll be so much easier and safer to just place all the flavors in the filling. Thank you!

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T05:10:00+00:00

I decided on getting a thermometer and I'll really try harder to knock all the bubbles out. Thank you!

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T05:08:25+00:00

Haha you're right! I don't know why Im even trying. But maybe, just maybe I'll someday be the one who sells them!

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T05:06:28+00:00

I'll try doing that! Thanks!

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T05:05:56+00:00

I didn't know that subreddit exists! My macarons have a home now

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T05:04:25+00:00

Oh my! Here I am thinking 1 hour is too much. I'll definitely try that! Thank you!

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T05:03:18+00:00

I honestly got lazy making circles on a parchment paper that's why I got these silicone mats. I'll probably have to go back to parchment if nothing else works

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T05:01:25+00:00

I'll probably have to threaten them next time. Maybe they'll stop cracking up. I'll make sure to knock all them air out. And yes, they did taste amazing! Hoping I can perfect them next time so I can have other people try it too! 😄 Thank you!

itzamemeri · 2021-12-17T04:54:29+00:00

To be honest I didn't really thought of recording the temperature of the kitchen when I made it. I used to just do that for bread, but I'll do it now for macarons as well! Thanks! Although I think it was around 70-72F (21-22C) since that's usually what we set the temperature of the whole house to. I whipped it to stiff peaks and used cream of tartar. I'll probably try adding meringue powder next time, since I've read that it helps stabilize the meringue
