Hello !! I've been a little busy these past few days but I am so excited to announce that after 3 tries I finally got my Macaroons to work ! ( im not a baker so this is a major accomplishment for me )
I've been very very obsessed with these little heavenly creations ever since we threw a party for our residents
so I decided to do them after stuffing my face with a few of them *O*
I did a very basic recipe that I followed from a fellow blogger Tartelette
she has very easy to follow Macaroon recipes so check them out ^_^
For my Macaroons
I cried
I got irritated
I felt like giving up
I also felt like wanting to kill a few of my co-workers ( They kept eating them with out being finished! )
but then one day the key was just to follow the recipe and shut up.
All the recipes I had found where in grams
I don't know how to work well with grams so I converted them to ounces
this was a big NO NO and part of why my Macaroons kept failing
but when I followed Tartelette's recipe
everything turned out well !!
they had cute little footsies
and beautiful color !
the only thing that I did change was the Temp for the oven
because the one at work is way to hot !
Also for the filling I decided to keep it simple
I did a basic Creme Caramel filling
something I just rather threw together from things we had in the kitchen
Here is the Recipe for the filling *__*
3 oz Smuckers Caramel sauce
4 oz Mascarpone cheese
1. combine the caramel and the cheese in a small bowl
2. put in a pipping bag with a round tip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using
How easy was that ?!
very easy ! and who doesn't like Caramel ? haha
I am also traveling to San Francisco to visit a friend of mine ! also to do lots and lots of shopping and to eat their wonderful food *O*
P.S. Here is a picture of my little Creme Caramel Macaroons !
Until next time ^____^ Happy Cooking !
