This is the first ever macarons that my friends and I made!
Can you recognize the icons?
Yeps! Those are the iphone apps! We hand painted them. (that's my favourite part haha)
These were the first batch too! :D
After that, we were hooked. We wanna experiment more flavors, shapes and colours! We were a bit crazy that time. Every conversation that we talked about is macarons.
There were 3 methods for macarons. The French, the Swiss and the Italian.
My friends were pro at using the Italian method which you need to cook the sugar to a certain temperature and then pour it into the meringue.
For me, I thought I should do a different method from them so we can compare the difference.
I did the French. I failed the first time. It turned out ugly and cracks everywhere.
I felt so sad that time, but I still sandwich them together with my durian filling and ate it.
It was really yummy! haha
So I told myself to try again. I know French method is the most unstable and most difficult in technic, but I wanna perfect it!
So I did it again!
......and guess what!
It was better!
These were the durian fillings macarons.. THE BEST! muahahahahaa
I was quite happy with this batch although it was not perfect!
So I kept trying.. and making macarons..
and I am now happy and satisfied.
Strawberry Macarons.
Mooncake Macarons. I call it the Macamoons!

I am now taking a break from Macarons.. (Too much egg yolks leftovers!!)
But when I'm in the mood again.. I think I will explore more fun designs!
