I've started to dabble in the art of macaron baking! I love these, and I hate them all at the same time. The are so temperamental to make it's not funny. It all seems so easy, they don't look that hard to make, but yeah...looks can be deceiving!
My first attempt I consider a success.
Chocolate macarons. They had a nice crust on the outside and were nice and soft on the inside. They developed the all important macaron feet on baking and did not crack. Most importantly, they were yum!
Attempt number two was ok. I upped the anti on these and decided to make a pistachio macaron. I made a batch of pistachio meal and went from there.
These didn't rise as much as the chocolate ones. I put that down to the different nut meal used, given that everything else I did was the same as before.
Attempt number three had mixed results. This time I tried making coconut macarons. Some of the batch were good, and the rest cracked and were flat.

The macarons shown here are the successes out of attempt 3.
Attempt 4. Why not try chocolate again, they worked before. Blah...not photo worthy at all. Even though they had small feet, they cracked and didn't rise all that much...nonetheless, I will not let the Mac beat me!!!
I wish I could eat them, I think they look YUMMY
