Time to make some macarons

Still in progress, but here’s a start.
Didn’t have mats with circles for sizing, so made them from parchment paper and a tealight.
40+ years old! Meanwhile, our 5 yield old KitchenAid mixer conked out last year and had to be replaced.
Trying to get the right colour as we mix.
Piping and a little bling on some of them before they rest for 90mins prior to hitting the oven.
Now a break before the next step. Macarons are thirsty work.

Watching this . Caliqueen has been on a macaron quest for some time, so I'd love to hear any tips or wisdom you have to pass on .#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

@caliking: My wife insisted we use this recipe because everything we’ve made from this site has been spectacular. You’ll see that his recipes are exceptionally simple and well-explained. https://www.ricardocuisine.com/en/recipes/2097-pink-macarons We love his pad Thai, Christmas log, Flemish stew, etc. It’s all fantastic.
Will try to remember to finish what I started and post the finished product. -

Thanks for the link. I haven't checked out that site before.
And those look great from here! What did you use for the filling?#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
@caliking: Vanilla buttercream perimeter with a full raspberry tucked into the middle. The freshness and tartness of the raspberry really helped cut the richness and sweetness of the buttercream. We didn’t get much of those sought after “feet” on the macarons, but as they say, practice makes perfect!
