For the blackforest macs , is that an edible red colour paint? My personal preference would be with a generous amount of filling for my macs. lovely batch of macaroons.

It may sometimes cut out the sweetness of the cookie. I actually prefer the more generous amount of filling depending on what it is. It may sometimes cut out the sweetness of the cookie.

Mary: It's food colouring. Landa: Yes, that's especially true for dark chocolate ganache. Charlene: I know, they're so addictive. It's hard to stop at one. ;) I'm really happy you liked them!

Yes,the problem with too little filling is that it cannot cut out the sweetness of the macaron shell...however,as I told you,yours are not toothachingly sweet and can be enjoyed on their own... Your dark choc one sets the bar with its deep bittersweet flavour...can't wait to get started on my own!

However, I have tried the recipe <a href="http://www.alacuisine.org/alacuisine/2004/11/macarons_imbb_1.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> before and it works well. I've also tried the chocolate macarons in Pierre Herme's Chocolate Desserts book and it works well too. One reason why your macarons are not developing feet may be that your batter is too wet. Try reducing the amount of egg whites. Alternatively, send me an email describing what happened with your macarons - no feet or cracked or lots of tiny holes on the surface or have a peak on top etc and I'll see if I can help! Auntie HN: Thanks! Let me know when you'd like to have some. Amrita: The secret is refridgeration. :D They always turn shiny after being in the fridge for a while - at least for me. Jo: Thanks, Jo! No lah, you should really try making your own. It may take a few attempts, but once you get the hang of it, it's really worth the effort! Of course, you can still order from me if you prefer. ;) Jacelyn: I’m afraid I can’t share my recipe with you as I am selling them. However, I have tried the recipe here before and it works well.
