Pretty happy
Was able to make this for a lovely couple as their wedding centrepiece. The couple opted for a macaron tower instead of traditional cake. So happy with how it turned out. Flavours: Raspberry, Vanilla Bean, Yuzu

@Moon M it’s just a rotating display platform - not part of the tower

Hey Ya’ll!
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?

@Dessiree Johnson Have you tried ageing your egg whites? I personally use egg white powder instead of cream of tartar in my meringue mix and find it helps with structure.

When you are asked to make green macarons for a golf themed celebration. Still need to work on my photography skills!! Filling is pistachio ganache.

Newbie Baker here 👋
Hi friends!! I’m very new to baking and not so good at it but I’m working to change that! This was my first time making macarons (not using the recipe from this site) and they are embarrassingly hideous fails , but I think I’m learning something new after each fail 😂 I’ve been only doing the Italian method, if anyone has any pointers that could help me trouble shoot I’d love that! I really want to master cute character macarons!!

Hi and welcome to the group. Hmmm looks like you could have a few things happening here. Could be oily almond flour, greasy bowl, undercooked, temp too low, too much food colouring, over macaronage. The list could go on and on. I suggest you start with basics - that way it’s easier to pin point issues. Start with cleaning your equipment with vinegar. If you have an oven thermometer use that as all oven temps can vary internally. Also suggest not using any food colouring this way if still fails that isn’t the issue. Keep practicing and post back along the way and people will give you helpful tips. Good luck!
HI
Hi, my name is Gus. I specialize in making viennoiserie and puff pastry, and I’m currently perfecting my macarons I think I’ve struggled more with macarons than I did when I first started making croissants, lol. I think I might be the only man in this community, and a big thank you to Crystal Arvelo for accepting me into the group.
