I’m Heather, a teacher, baker, and mom of four from Oklahoma. I’ve been baking for years, but macarons are my current obsession… and humbling experience. 😅 I’m still pretty new to macarons and working on mastering all the little details that seem to have a mind of their own. One batch gives me beautiful feet, the next batch decides to crack, hollow out, or remind me who’s really in charge. I’m here to learn, soak up all the tips and tricks, share my successes (and failures), and hopefully connect with other macaron makers who have survived the learning curve. What’s the one piece of macaron advice you wish someone had given you when you first started?

My oldest daughter had her junior prom last night and I was in charge of dinner for her and her group of friends. Her lunch table are my macaron flavor “taste testers” and the girls all wanted my macarons for dessert. Each girl picked their favorite flavor and I got to work. I made over 250 so I could send some home with them the next morning. (All the girls stayed at my house last night too.) They are still not perfect, but Crystals recipe gave me so much more confidence going into this weekend and I’m so thankful. Flavors were: Pina Colada buttercream with Mango Curd Birthday Cake Buttercream Key Lime Pie Lemon buttercream with raspberry curd Banana Milkshake White Chocolate Ganache Cotton Candy buttercream Peanut Butter buttercream with brownie batter center Wild blueberry white chocolate ganache with lemon curd center

We've gone through so many unbranded macaron packaging and think this one is a keeper. PERFECT during the holidays and gift giving despite the annoying film that needs to be removed from each plastic. 😅 It really elevates the luxury look and you can put your sticker logo right on the packaging to customize it. I bought it here https://amzn.to/49CQpJt

WELCOME new members. I decided to extend the free macaron course till January 1st. This will be the absolute last day to get the recipe for free in hopes that you try it and share your wins and fails with me. Its also the best way for me to dissect your macarons so I can help you get a perfect full smooth macaron shell. When you share and stay active you will be given a lifetime access to get ganache and many professional filling recipes to take your macarons to another level. Im excited for you to try it out. The recipe is free, if you cannot access it in the classroom. Comment here and Ill fix that for you.
