earl grey infused ganache! that sounds really interesting. how’’s it taste? does the ganache hv any earl grey fragrance? maybe one day we can even do a chai spice flavored one :p

oh you”re also baking them on parchment paper? same for me. im gonna get silpat soon. hv u thought of getting that? it seems pretty indispensable, esp. for baking macs & those french layered mousse cakes.

anyhow yours still look very very good. i love how your macs hv very prominent feet =)

Yes, the ganache did have a hint of earl grey to it.

Thanks for the suggestion, Evan. I already have a Silpat, which I do use when baking macarons. But a single Silpat is not enough when baking large quantities. :o)

I”m really lucky to have the honor to taste this heavenly creation of Karen’’s. The choc she uses for this is not too bitter so that the taste of earl grey fuses out in the mouth :). I was so shocked when she told me she threw that batch of macarons away.. I thot I could have eaten them out of the paper :P.

They sure are yummy and very pretty pictures too. Haven”t dare to try making macarons, they require a lot of techniques to do it well which I”m a newbie to baking

Hi Elyn, thanks! Sorry I took so long to respond. You should try making macarons some time. They are a little time-consuming to make, but once you master the recipe and technique, it’’s well-worth the effort.
