They had feet and everthing. My friend who is from Brazil says they tasted just like the ones she had there. Now, I 'm not saying they were perfect, but they were pretty good I thought. I used a recipe from the East Village Kitchen for chocolate macarons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130611821587496795.post-63788715039742261172009-01-02T00:11:00.000+08:002009-01-02T00:11:00.000+08:00Hi Vivacita!it was wonderful to meet up with you t...Hi Vivacita!<BR/><BR/>it was wonderful to meet up with you too!

I'm going to try again soon! Am now waiting for my egg whites to age a day more. <BR/><BR/>Pilar - that was what I did for my first tray (because I do the same for my cream puffs)..then I suddenly stopped because I do not remember reading about anyone doing the same for macarons. Thank you, you are a consolation! At least now I know that by doing that, I was not wrong! Oh, and I make them with almond meal + egg whites <BR/><BR/>Ann - I hope they turn out wonderful. Right now, they are chewy, and far from being wonderful, haha. Merry Christmas to you too!Bimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10509246043276179277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130611821587496795.post-89517222576071111342008-12-16T11:34:00.000+08:002008-12-16T11:34:00.000+08:00those seem wonderful and a perfect gift to present...those seem wonderful and a perfect gift to present bimmer..happy Xmas in advance..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130611821587496795.post-70872946719839678272008-12-16T06:24:00.000+08:002008-12-16T06:24:00.000+08:00For the twirls, when you are done with the pipping...For the twirls, when you are done with the pipping, go back with your finger wet in water and tap the twirls.
