Wren and I performed a baking miracle yesterday. We shockingly mastered a batch of macarons.
I mean, you are talking to the lady who has her dinners delivered with step by step instructions. The lady who has burnt water, wrecked countless batches of cookies, accidentally made butter while trying to whip cream... for the most part my meals are considered unedible.
but not these!!!
It took a lot of patience. A lot of love.
But they taste even more divine than they look! (I don' think I've ever said that!!!).
I got the recipe here, but we made our own filling by pureeing raspberries into our buttercream icing. Then we had to quickly snap our photos at 11pm last night since we had a feeling they wouldn't last long!

They look fabulous! I love the little plate you have them on that looks like and egg carton. It's too adorable.

Lovely greetings...

Oh.My.Word.Marissa
I think a congratulations is in order!
they are so feminine, and quite tasty looking as well!
OH MY GOSH you did it!! My daughter-n-law and I have been trying to make that happen, it isn't easy!! I can't wait to tell her you did it! I'm sure she'll be asking you HOW! Congrats I for one can tell you not everyone can do that!
~*~ You inspire me to try baking...Im with you ..Im sure ive burnt water and didnt know even how to make rice when I got married! ;)~ I bet they taste amazing and they look so pretty~*~*Rachel
THANKS so much ladies!! I really think it was a one time thing LOL, next batch will probably taste horrible.
L, good eye! It actually is a little egg crate I found in a thrift store a few months ago. I keep meaning to use it in the fridge, but it only has 9 dimples so I have to wait til I use up at least 3 eggs and by then I forget.
I believe they also sell them at Anthro in various colors!
those look yum!
Well done!! The color is perfect!!!
I love how you photographed them with rose petals :)
Good for you, Holly! They look so pretty and the raspberry filling sounds delicious. I will have to try that recipe. I've not been brave enough to venture into macaroon baking. Your macaroons look better than the ones at a bakery! You did a great job.
Those look devine, and I love the photographs.
Those macarons look delicious AND beautiful! I'm planning my sister's Bridal Shower and these would be perfect.
Question: How did you make yours PINK?
They look amazing! I am checking out the recipe right now!
Those look amazing! I've always been too afraid to try making them and I love to cook.

These look absolutely delicious! Thank you for the recipe
I'm so happy my recipe helped you bake these gorgeous macarons! I love making them and was hoping others were successful with my recipe as well. They've risen perfectly, they are delicate, the color is very soft and the filling looks luscious. It makes me want to make a batch right now! Congrats again and cheers :)
They look amazing... and I love the pink plate (egg holder?) super cute!!
Oh yeah! Delicious!

yummmm! They look amazing! Did they taste as good as they looked? Do you get the dinners from Simply Supper? I was doing that a couple of years ago when i was trying not to eat fast food - i don't know why i stopped and i went back to fast food... yuck!
I'm sure they taste as good as they look! They are so pretty! Love the color!
I am SO impressed!! This recipe might save me a few trips up to duchess!

They look diabolically delicious! YUM, now I'm feeling inspired to do some baking!
