 My last failed attempt at making macarons has been a while ago and was for the Daring Bakers in october. So when Jamie and Deeba started their MacAttack I could not stay behind! My goal, obviously, to finally produce a decent batch of macarons. One that I would be able to serve to other people...

Simone they are outstanding! Perfect in every way and the color is so lovely too. I am so glad that you joined us for Mac Attack on Mactweets! And if you play along each month you’ll not only get to try different flavors but you’ll be able to make macs with your eyes closed! Oh, btw, I do watch mine baking for the full 15 minutes! [Reply]

These look very professional macarons, as if they came straight from Ladurée in Paris. I love the very sophisticated color and flavor. [Reply]

Hi there, beautiful job on your macarons! I am doing the mactweets thing too (I’ll be posting them tomorrow). They came out nice looking, but to be honest, on the inside, they were hollow. Did you have this problem too? If not, any advice? [Reply]  Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Hi, I will check your post out tomorrow. Mine were not hollow, but I think I had that issue in a previous batch. Did the bottom stick to the baking paper or did they come out allright but were they still hollow? The issue I had previously that I did not leave them in the oven long enough, so when I took them of the paper they ended up hollow. I am not really a mac expert so maybe Jamie can answer your question better..? [Reply]

Oh, yay! I’m so glad you managed to find your perfect technique! They look wonderful, beautiful colour! I made a chocolate one recently, and it wasn’t 100% perfect, but still good enough. And I have to make lemon ones for a friend’s party this weekend. I’m getting a lot of practice! [Reply]

These are BEAUTIFUL macaroons. I love lavender, and have had macaroons on my ‘to-make’ list forever. Yours turned out looking like true, perfect macaroons! [Reply]

Congratulations on getting them absolutely perfect! I am intimidated by macarons and lazily prefer to buy them…but so admire those of you who make them from scratch. Violet macarons sound divine. [Reply]
