Look at what I made! I know these little French beauties have been the obsession on blogs for a while now, but I didn’t have the courage to try making them. So I sat and admired everyone else’s macarons. The beautiful colors and the tempting fillings became too much. I got tired of admiring and wanted to eat so in December I poured over recipes and found my courage by reading Tartlette’s instructions. My macarons turned out perfectly. The stack pictured are clementine with chocolate ganache filling. I also made chocolate with salted butter caramel filling but those didn’t stick around long enough for pictures.
I must admit, macarons are a little fussy but if you stay calm they are very simple to make. One of the things I would like to do this year is to try cooking or baking at least two new things a month. Having accomplished making the fragile macaron has definitely set me off on the right foot.
I found your blog through Little Acorn, and had fun looking at all your older posts. I’ll be checking back again
What a beautiful photo! Good job, they look great. Those are something I’ve wanted to try but have been intimidated by.
Those look so delicious! You will have to share the recipe with me
