I love how the luxemburgerli look slightly different from macarons…They look almost like actual colored eggshells…I wonder how they do it!

You can send some over if you find that your fridge is too full!! :op

Your own macarons look the nicest! I quite like the Ladurée macaron fillings though.

Felicia: Thanks! I’ve replied your emails.

Amrita, Bernice, Maria: Thank you!

Anita: Thanks! You have really gorgeous photographs on your blog too.

HL: Thank you for the macarons! I liked the Ladurée fillings very much too, except for the blackcurrant jam, which was really sweet. The licorice one (black) was really interesting - it had an almost savoury, peppery sort of taste.

Hi Karen,

Ive got a question about your macarons..

do you use store bought ground almonds and from which store if so?

i currently use the Red Man brand ground almonds and while the shape and structure of the domes are lovely, their surfaces are not!!!! They look sort of pimply. I think it is due to the coarseness of the ground almonds i use..

Hi Audrey, regardless of the brand you use, if you want smoother surfaces, you HAVE to sift the ground almonds at least once to get rid of the larger pieces. If you still end up with coarse surfaces, your sieve may not be fine enough. Hope this helps!

Your macarons look so good and gorgeous!!! I love macarons and I have been learning to make them and have just got the right shape after 8 trials. Do you know how to make coffee taste macaron and filling and can you give me some hints? I really appreciate your help.
