Thanks, Jo!

It’s a private one-on-one class and I only agreed to it because she’s flying in all the way from Australia. :o)

Karen, i recently discovered your blog, and have been admiring everything –especially the macarons– on your archive since. I have made macarons myself, and have been somewhat succesful (after many tries), but i am still trying to see if i can incorporate different flavors, and develop a better technique. i am going to try the Italian meringue technique next. What i want to ask you is this: how do you flavor the macaron shells? For example, when you talk of a mango macaron, is the mango only in the filling? Is there a way of flavoring the shell with other than freeze-dried fruit powders? i have tried to incorporate little amounts of liquid flavors, and have not been successful.

i wish you happy holidays with your loved ones,

Hi Karen, thanks for the tip about using sponge fingers, can’t wait to try. You are indeed wonderful, meeting all those orders on your own. I was exhausted after 50+ cookies, and not without help of my daughter. All the best for 2008.

Hi Karen,
I’ve been reading your blog since October I believe.
I also have a great passion for pastries.
And I’m very excited to read that you do give lessons!
I’m an international student in the United States,
I’m wondering if i could stop by Singapore and take some lessons with you before I go back to Taiwan?

Best wishes and have a safe trip!
