Well, despite Trissa's wonderful instruction I made a lousy lot of macarons. It was a wet day so I had trouble drying them and also I didn't read Trissa's recipe on here (only the one we got from class) and I ground the icing sugar/almond meal/cocoa for 45 seconds instead of about 10 and it started to melt together. The TMX was just too powerful.

I pressed on and have ended up with dull,macarons with no foot, but they still taste yummy. They have all the lumpy, melted mix through them that makes them look like Cookies and Cream. I wasn't going to waste the mixture. I ended up putting the heater on to try and dry them.

 Hopefully the next try will be a big improvement.

Maybe Cookie you could crush them up and mix them through some icecream  ;) ;D ;D Not a disaster at all in my humble opinion  ;)

at leasst they tasted good..and you know we all have our mysterious stuff ups..ive been cooking all week planning for my DS 5th bday party and he wanted a football field cake (great)..first one was a flop..no idea what i did as i have made it several times now (just not as big) but it flattened and was more like a brownie than a cake lol ..anyway as they say try try and try again and second time round it was perfect..will post photos maybe tomorrow on the bimby choc cake link..anyway got to run as i have 12 5 year olds arriving in a couple of hours arrgghh..next time will be a hit cookie and anyway macaroons are a known difficulty to perfect!  (Definately think you need to be zen when preparing them :)

picked up a copy of Superfood today at the checkout ($2.95), and there are 10 different versions of the marcarons.

Yes I have that. I like their fillings, very easy to do. I may have another attempt this afternoon if I can fit it in.

Cookie ,  we are all waiting to hear how you go.   Don't think any of us are as brave as you.   I bought a book by Alison Thompson, 'Macaron" but haven't been confident enough to try it.
