Mimi’s Macaron Friends

One of the joys of having this blog is being able to communicate with so many baking friends from around the world. It really amazes me how far some of you are from little o’l me here in Vancouver, Canada. I know some of you are from the U.S., Middle East, Australia and Europe and you are all crazy about macarons like me. No wonder why we have all become instant baking friends! I really appreciate everyone who have been sharing their macaron progress with me. It’s seriously very exciting for me to find out that you have achieved some of your macaron dreams by using my recipe. Thanks for taking time out of your day to do that. You can find me by mentioning me on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook.

I wanted to share all these sweet treats that you baked with everyone and hope that it gives others the confidence that they can do it too 🙂

  1. Hi Mimi, I just strated baking macaron but the ones I made has soft top and they dflqt when you touch it. What do you think seems to be the problem.

    Thanks

    Reply

    • Hi Iya,
      I can’t really understand what you meant since there was a typo. Sometimes soft tops can be due to meringue issues like a broken meringue.

      XOXO,

      Mimi

  2. Hi Mimi,

    I have tried baking macarons so many times. I don’t get full hollow shells anymore, but I do get air bubbles still. I smack the pan many times and use a toothpick to get rid of any bubbles once the shell is pipped. Any suggestions?

    • Actually, what you are doing seems quite appropriate to get rid of the bubbles. Watch out for your folding. Fold enough to get deflate some more air in the batter.
