Yeahhhhh! finally I am able to make my own macaroon! Thanks for the destiny, thanks for able to meet up some frenchs, and thanks sophie and sara!!
You guys are really awesome, today baking day is the MAX!!! WOOOAH!!
Now I eventually realized how difficult to make macaron, how details for every steps, how precise for the time, how accurate for the numbers!
with sophie's direction, of cause I learnt to make macaron from the begining! Haha, I forgot to take the photo of the initial ingredients....=P And straight away jump to the macaroon caps making step.
so this is macaroon caps before baking, actually I found it hard to squeeze from the plastic bag, but haha sooner or later I could pick up the skill, and actually we need to let them "rest" as longer time (at least 1hr) as possible, the longer time they set for "breath", the better and smoot appearance they get! However, due to the time constrainst, we just left for 1 hr and half, then back to oven for 11 mins...
after around 10mins.....tada~
well, the first batch is not really good, with cracked appearance, and soggy texture, so we baked the second batch for 1 minute extra, see! How detailed and specific the baking time affect the outcome!
and yes, it proved that the baking time is also a main factor for the successful macaron! the second batch did look better !!
and we also made the filling ourselves, this was the caramel filling, and we also made a chocolate filling (I dint take photo, ooppsy), and today I only figured out caramel is so easy to make!(again, the goodness of food product development!!)
then, place the caramel filling on the macaron caps, and then just close up like cookies....
done!!!
me and sara were so satisfied with our first home made macaron!! (and ya, sara only first knew macaron from this baking day!), and notes: the pussy cat behind me was sleeping so deeply in the rainy day =)
Besides macarons, we also made fondue and chocolate thruffle!!! WOOOAH!! We really knew how to use up every single little thing!!!
And yup the photos on top were the baking process of chocolate fondue, which is also a french dessert! NICE!!
and some more photos for the chocolate truffles.....
