French Macaroons !! San Francisco !!

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 !
