Hi Pauline, I make my own paste. However, I think it may be possible to buy some kind of ground sesame mix (I’m not sure what else besides sesame is in the mix) at some supermarkets. I’ve think I’ve seen it at the Isetan supermarket at Lido.

Thanks, Stef! Yes, they are a great way to cover up mistakes.

Pauline: The mix I saw was a dry mix, so I think you may need to add water to make it into a paste.

Macarons are “cookies” made from meringue, almond flour and icing sugar. A macaron has a thin crisp shell on the outside. The inside is soft, chewy. If you’d like to try one, Bakerzin or Canele (Robertson Walk) sells them.

Thanks, everyone!

Pansy: It’s 3 inches across without the ladyfinger sponges. Use a small dessert ring. It was a pain to unmould though.

sandii: You have to make the tiramisu cake first and place the sponges around it only after the cream has set.

phyllis: They are available at Cold Storage.
