Making Macarons



I've expressed my love for macarons in this post, and although the recipe was slightly intimidating, my brother's girlfriend and I decided to give it a try anyway. We followed this recipe, made chocolate ganache, and added two drops of pink dye to give these macarons some color. Also, I've never found a need for a food processor, but sifting through sugar and flour more than once... we got quite the arm workout.

  2. They look delish!
    I sort of suck at making desserts, that's why I post about them to document how I go up in dessert-making.
    I wish I had your skills!
